He closed the game: Miguel Borja scored the 2-0 to secure River Plate's victory.

Miguel Ángel Borja, in the closing of the River Plate vs. Barracas Central, gave the tranquility that Marcelo Gallardo's team sought throughout the second half. The Colombian, who took Lucas Beltrán's place, did not forgive inside the box and scored 2-0 to give fans a breather at the Monumental stadium.

Despite having the advantage thanks to Nicolás de la Cruz's goal, the 'Banda' suffered more than necessary to seal the match, the last one before the classic against Boca Juniors. So, since the initial pieces did not respond, 'Muñeco' Gallardo started moving his pieces and tried alternatives throughout the second half.

Since the start of the second half, the Argentine coach sent defender Javier Pinola and midfielder Esequiel Barco into the field. Despite refreshing two key areas, 'Millo' continued without finding positive answers. For this reason, 'Napoleon' called dangerous players Matías Suárez and Miguel Ángel Borja after an hour.

In fact, both were important to make a difference in the 'Franja'. In added time, the entire Barracas Central defense fell asleep on a free kick. From the wing, Nicolás de la Cruz took the shot to find Suárez unmarked by the line, who received it without pressure.

The River forward took a few steps until he reached the edge of the penalty area. Suárez lifted his head and sent a cross to the opponent's territory. In that area, Borja controlled, withstood the opponent's mark, turned, and took a powerful shot to overcome goalkeeper Cristian Arce and score the second goal of the match.
