He got the comeback! River Plate came out differently in the second half and managed to turn the scoreboard in the match against Argentinos Juniors in the Argentine Professional League. After Miguel Borja's draw, a few minutes passed and the referee awarded another penalty for the 'Millonario' team. Since the Colombian forward was no longer on the field, the responsibility of kicking it was given to Ezequiel Barco , who demonstrated his quality and scored a great goal.
If River achieved the comeback, a large part was due to the changes made by Martín Demichelis at the beginning of the second half. Robert Rojas and Barco entered the field of play in place of Herrera and Aliendro. The team changed its posture and started to be more direct. That is how the two penalties in favor of the 'Millonario' came about.
For the second penalty, there was a VAR review, but it was eventually confirmed. Barco took a powerful shot to score the 2-1 in favor of River Plate. As expected, the new and renovated Monumental exploded with joy. Undoubtedly, a special night for the team's fans, who suffered in the first half but enjoyed in the second.
