Vibrant match. Pablo Solari scored the first goal for River Plate vs. Tigre in the Argentine Professional League.
After several attempts, the millonarios managed to score the first goal. Solari shot with his left foot in a great shot that came from outside the box and to the center of the goal. It is worth noting that the goal came with an assist from Nicolás Cruz.
The equalizing goal came at 70 minutes with a remarkable penalty. VAR decided to call a handball by Emanuel Mammana inside the box and Mateo Retegui converted it.
River Plate vs. Tigre: the preview
The 'Millionaires' are looking for another victory to stay close to the top of the table. In the last round, Marcelo Gallardo's team defeated Central Córdoba 3-0 at home and reached 25 points, although still behind Atlético Tucumán with 32 points, who could drop points against Boca Juniors on Sunday.
The idea of the 'Muñeco' Gallardo is to maintain the base that achieved the victory at the Monumental. There would only be one change in the team: Milton Casco, who has already recovered, for Elías Gómez. In addition, River's coach once again has Paulo Díaz and Matías Suárez. David Martínez, Leandro González Pirez, and Tomás Pochettino were not considered, the last two for technical decisions.
In Tigre, there is a good memory of the recent clash with the 'Banda': a 1-2 victory as visitors. However, the situation of 'Matador' has been changing. Just recently, Diego Martínez's team has gone three games without a win. "For us, who have to bounce back, every game is important," acknowledged Sebastián Prediger.
