The Suárez-Barco combination, the 7 brave men who removed doubts about the River de Gallardo

Marcelo Gallardo was encouraged and played it. The tie did not agree and he sent Matías Suárez to the field. It was thought that upon entering Cordovan, the one who might have left was Esequiel Barco. But not. Manika supported the former Independent. And Suárez and Barco, the squad’s two brave “7s,” gave River an important victory for the Copa Libertadores.

Suárez took advantage of a mistake by goalkeeper Omar Carabalí and pushed the ball into the net, after Andrés Herrera’s center. With only eight minutes left and River started to beat Colo-Colo in the end. “I’m very happy, first to play again, sometimes it’s time to start, the others in the second half. And I’m gaining confidence. I always try to give my best. And the welcome is the fact of scoring a goal when I enter “. And I added: “Success gives us valuable emotional help”.

Suarez, who wore a “7” on the back of his shirt (which, obviously, didn’t get major publicity because they forgot to stamp) has been on a roll since his return. This was the fourth goal and the second in the Copa Libertadores. He has already converted Alianza Lima to Peru. And in the League Cup he scored against Banfield and Argentinos. In this way, Cordovan accumulates 33 goals using the River shirt.

For his part, Barco is almost a left pointer to Chile. And staying at the top of the Colo Colo area, he scored a great goal when he received the ball from Julián Álvarez, hooked up and took a right hand against Carabali’s left post. “Barco went from low to high in the fight and scored a great goal”said Gallardo.

The former Independiente scored his second goal since wearing the River shirt. And the first -in Racing- also included a shot from outside the area. This Wednesday is special. Is that the 23 -year -old is back after 17 days after recovering from a tear. And it is decisive.

For River, the doubts about where he started in a decisive week are gone. The victory in Santiago de Chile that allowed him to remain as group leader added Newell’s stumble, allowing him to have two chances to secure his classification in the quarterfinals. The first was on Saturday in Junín against a direct rival like Sarmiento.
