River Plate has already begun its preparation for the following season and, therefore, faces Colo Colo at the Sausalito Stadium. Despite the fact that it is a friendly match, the ‘Millionaire’ put his foot on the accelerator and scored two goals in less than 15 minutes.
At 9′, Juan Fernando Quintero scored a filtered pass for his compatriot Miguel Borja. The Colombian striker cheated on goalkeeper Brayan Cortés and thus scored the 1-0 in favor of the Argentine team. Instantly, the second goal would come.

After three minutes, Quintero appeared again, but this time he assisted Pablo Solari. The Argentine midfielder punctured the ball and thus scored 2-0. However, the player did not celebrate and apologized to the “Cacique” fans due to his past in the Chilean team.

River Plate vs. Colo Colo: previous
The “Millionaires” want to say goodbye to Marcelo Gallardo accordingly. Although the ‘Band’ ran out of chances of winning titles, the team’s idea is to prevail in friendly matches so that the last image of the ‘Muñeco’ on the club’s bench is with a smile after eight successful years.
For this presentation, Gallardo only loses Franco Armani and Nicolás De la Cruz, who are with Argentina and Uruguay, respectively, in the preparation for Qatar 2022. So, Paulo Díaz, Enzo Pérez, Agustín Palavecino, Juan Fernando Quintero and Miguel Borja must be the main referents of the team.
On his side, Colo Colo will also go out to the field located in Viña del Mar with the best he has on campus. The Chilean champion, led by coach Gustavo Quinteros, must send important men to the field such as Juan Martín Lucero, Gabriel Costa, Emiliano Amor, Gabriel Suazo or Esteban Pavez.
