River Plate and Colón played an intense match on Wednesday, with some goal situations, but neither team was able to breach the opponent's goal. That is, until Ramón Ábila appeared, who took care of signing the 1-0 in favor of 'Sabalero', after up to six minutes of uncertainty.
In the 72nd minute, at the Brigadier General Estanislao Stadium, also known as the Cemetery of the Elephants, 'Wanchope' did not forgive in the area and scored, after overcoming Franco Armani. However, initially, the goal was not validated, due to a supposed offside.
The main referee invalidated the play after seeing his assistant with the flag up. The game was stopped and there was a lot of uncertainty. Finally, after a long wait, it was determined that Ábila, assisted by his teammate Facundo Farías, was in a legitimate position.
Colón's goal was a tough blow for the team led by Marcelo Gallardo. Forced to react, 'Millonario' sought the equalizer through the interventions of their top scorer Julián Álvarez, but without success.
In the end, 'Sabalero' made its home ground count and took the victory: they reached five points and moved up to fourth place in the Argentine league. On the other hand, River Plate extended their winless streak to three matches and is in twenty-fifth place with only two points.
