Another blow from Tigre: Colidio takes advantage of River’s defensive error and scored the 2-1 at the Monumental | VIDEO

Gift from Paulo Díaz and merit from Facundo Colidio: the two key actions for River Plate’s 2-1 vs. Tigre in the quarterfinals of the Professional League Cup. The defender made a terrible mistake on the way out and the striker approached goalkeeper Franco Armani to silence the entire Monumental stadium for the second time that night.

A great goal from Enzo Fernández once again put Marcelo Gallardo’s men into the game who, until then, dominated the actions. In fact, the ‘Muñeco’ team had patience and time to put together the maneuvers from the bottom. This is how Héctor Martínez, from the band, combined in the center with Paulo Díaz.

The River Plate center-back had the intention of making the delivery near the circle, still on his court. But in front of the man from the ‘Band’ was Facundo Colidio, who intercepted. Immediately, the Tigre player made a cut to pass the defender and advanced on Armani. A few meters from the ‘1’, the striker subtly defined on the first post to make it 1-2.

River will face Tigre on Wednesday, promoted this year and revelation team of the League Cup, beyond not having brilliant figures and showing a decline in the final part, with three defeats in their last four matches.

River could not keep the first place, in the hands of Racing, which finished the regular stage undefeated, while Marcelo Gallardo’s team suffered three setbacks that left it in the second step, although its classification was never at risk.

The formation of the red band showed ups and downs, with the ability to overwhelm Sarmiento (7-0) and Gimnasia (4-0), as well as losing to Talleres (1-0) and drawing with Atlético Tucumán (1-1), two rivals who hovered around the bottom of the table.
