Franco Mastantuono and a goal for the great history of River: he overtook Saviola as the youngest to become a millionaire

it had been close Franco Mastantuono in the first half he scored his first goal with the shirt of River. He kicked a free kick with a phenomenal curve, but the ball hit exactly the intersection of the stick and the crossbar. But the boy from Azul had his revenge, to add his surname to the great history of the Millionaire: in the 67th minute he appeared to push a loose ball into the area and make it 2-0 against Excursionistas for the Argentina Cup. He thus became the youngest player to convert with the red armband, surpassing none other than Javier Saviola.

Mastantuono, who made his professional debut in the first round of the Professional League Cup against Argentinos Juniors, had left flashes of his good punch in several interventions he had since that day, but also during the preseason in the United States.

The River fans suffered in that phase of the match, because aside from Miguel Borja’s goal, Franco Armani had donned his hero suit to save a penalty he had committed himself.

It didn’t take long for the ball to arrive in the area in the form of a cross from the left headed by Héctor David Martínez – who was playing as a left back -, Facundo Colidio struck first but Borja blocked and Mastantuono seemed to define from a few meters away arc distance.
