Milton Casco's great goal for the 1-0 lead of River Plate against Barracas Central.

The 'millionaires' open the scoring. Milton Casco's goal for the 1-0 of River Plate vs. Barracas Central in the Round of 16 of the Argentine Cup.

Argentinian player's great goal at 21 minutes. After a missed shot by Juan Manuel Vázquez, River took the opportunity and moved the ball towards Barracas' area.

Casco did not waste the chance and shot with great quality. The shot was impossible to guess for Maximiliano Gagliardo and opens the scoring in an important match, after their farewell from the Copa Libertadores in the round of 16.

River Plate's current football situation is not the best, as the team has accumulated four winless matches (three defeats and one draw) and in three of them there were no goals celebrated. Due to this bad streak, the club has fallen behind in the Professional League and has been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.

Marcelo Gallardo, who has also been emotionally affected by the recent adverse situation, will try to take the right path in the Argentine Cup. Now, without the presence of Julián Álvarez, Lucas Beltrán will try to end the goal drought for the institution.

The young forward could be accompanied by Braian Romero, although the presence of José Paradela is not ruled out, depending on the coach's preferred scheme. In addition, Rodrigo Aliendro, River's recent signing, is ready to add minutes in the creative zone.

On the other hand, Barracas Central arrives with high motivation, after the victories over San Lorenzo (2-1) and Talleres (2-0). These results were the team's first wins in the Professional League and they will try to extend the streak in the upcoming cup match.
