Miercoles 28 de Septiembre del 2022

The millionaire midfielder finished off in a great way a wonderful collective play to score the first goal of the match within the first ten minutes of the game.

River Plate faces Patronato in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina. The match is played at the Carlos Augusto Mercado Luna Stadium, where the 'millionaire' team quickly took the lead thanks to a great goal by Bruno Zuculini when only ten minutes of the first half had been played.

It was a great collective play by Marcelo Gallardo's team, which would end with a great move in the area of the 29-year-old midfielder, who received the ball in the heart of the area, turned to shake off the marking of an opponent, and shot across to beat the resistance of goalkeeper Facundo Altamirano.



River vs Patronato: the match preview

River Plate qualified for this stage of the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina by comfortably defeating Defensa y Justicia 4-0 in a match played at the Centenario stadium in Resistencia (province of Chaco, north) on August 31st.

In that duel that seemed more even in the pre-match, Marcelo Gallardo's team created huge distances with a great performance by Pablo Solari (4, 51, and 82), one of the recent signings, who took control of the match with a hat-trick, while Lucas Beltrán (29) completed the scoring for the rojiblanca rout.

For this occasion, the 'Millonario' will not be able to count on a series of players, who are called up by their national teams for the FIFA International Break. They are Franco Armani, Paulo Díaz, and Nicolás De la Cruz, called up by the national teams of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay respectively.

However, the good news for the Buenos Aires team is the return of Enzo Pérez as a starter, in addition to the inclusion of Juanfer Quintero for the injured Santiago Simón. Another change from the last league match is the exclusion of Colombian Miguel Borja. This Wednesday, Pablo Solari is starting from the beginning.
