River vs. Platense: the preview
The Monumental Stadium is a party after the goals, in the second half, by Nicolás de la Cruz and Matías Suárez for River vs. Platense in Matchday 25 of the Argentine Professional League. The 'millionaire' team increased their advantage after opening the scoring with a shot that had some complicity to enter the opposing goal. Likewise, this victory puts them in the fight for the title.
One of the premises of a big team is to fight until the last instance for the title. River Plate has this goal clear with players like Nicolás de la Cruz, who advanced with a long-range shot. In this way, it was the first blow for Platense in the match.
Matías Suárez also contributed to the second goal and increased the advantage. The forward appeared after a collective play that he took advantage of to beat the opposing goal. For now, this victory puts them in third place and ensures their participation in the next Copa Libertadores.
River vs. Platense: the preview
River Plate still has options to win the title in the Professional League, although it does not depend on itself. The team led by Marcelo Gallardo is four points behind Boca Juniors, the leader, but the detail is that 'Xeneize' could extend its advantage to seven points after completing the clash against Gimnasia.
Although the situation is complicated, the 'Millonarios' do not give up and aim to obtain a new victory at home. In the latest matchday, the team defeated Patronato 1-0 away and approached the zone of qualification for the next Copa Libertadores: they only require a draw in this match.
On the other hand, Platense is going through a long streak of negative results: three defeats and two draws. The last time 'Calamar' won was on September 13, in the 1-0 victory over Unión Santa Fe (Jorge Benítez scored).
