Esequiel Barco hit this bombshell 17 minutes into the game for River’s victory against Independiente and immediately raised both hands as if apologizing to the Red fans who were watching his great goal on television.
Barco, 24, arose from the Inferior of Independiente and was one of the figures of that Ariel Holan team that became champion of the 2017 Copa Sudamericana in Rio de Janeiro. On that historic night, Esequiel scored a penalty at the age of 18 for the Red’s last international title.
River’s other goal was made by Miguel Borja, ten minutes from the end of the game. Thus, Demichelis’s team has won eight consecutive wins without conceding goals, and continues as the absolute leader of the Professional League, with a difference of six points over San Lorenzo.
