A new edition of the Argentine Superclásico arrives for the Professional League. River and Boca match 0-0 at the Monumental. The date 15 of the professional League has its classic from 5:30 p.m.
With the refereeing of Darío Herrera, it is televised by ESPN Premium, TNT Sports and the classic Supertransmi of FM La Redonda at 100.3 on the dial. It is the first classic for Martín Demichelis as DT from River Plate with a team that managed to obtain 34 points in the competition.
The Superclásico had a very frictionless start and with interruptions as a result of a series of infractions, one of which ended with a yellow card for Aliendro.
After 8 minutes, Nacho Fernández had the opportunity to open the scoring with a great shot, but “Chiquito” Romero snatched the chance with a great intervention.
The local team put together a series of offensives that allowed them to reach the Boca area. With definitions from De la Cruz and Beltrán at the head, River was very close to breaking equality against a Boca that did not stand in the middle of the field under constant pressure.
At the end of the first half, River did not diminish its initiative and came close to opening the scoring before the end of the first stage. In those passages of the match, the referee Darío Herrera admonished Figal and Varela for two crosses against Fernández and Barco.
Half an hour before the initial whistle, around 5:00 p.m. there were runs and stones. According to reports, it was on Libertador and Udaondo streets when the troops dissuaded the millionaires with explosions and they attacked the vehicles that were parked in the vicinity with stones. Likewise, in River Enzo Díaz, Enzo Pérez, Rodrigo Aliendro and Leandro González Pirez were reprimanded.
Meanwhile, those from La Ribera have 18 points in the table and have just raised their heads after four games without winning prior to the assumption of Almirón. The last defeat was at the Bombonera against Estudiantes.
It will be the classic 215 in history, with 78 wins for Xeneize, 70 for the Millionaire and 66 draws. The local team comes from a historic defeat in Group D of the Copa Libertadores, losing to Fluminense 5-1 while the visitor, in Group F of the same international tournament, comes from winning against Colo Colo in Chile 2-0.
