Frank Armani had another good night in Brazil so River got a good result on their visit to wall. The goalkeeper has the Selection level and his performance This is very similar to Libertadores 2018 when Casildense was key to Núñez’s team winning the title.
“They played well and the weather was tough. When the rival overpowered us, we had to be patient, in the first half we had problems but in the second half we settled, we played a different class. Way and on the counterattack we had scoring options to win it. But it was tied and we are still up in the group. The important thing is not to lose. “he said, when the game was over.
The Armani show in Brazil (where in 2018 he also became a figure against Gremio and in 2019 against Cruzeiro) started after Fortaleza’s goal, in which the goalkeeper has nothing to do. Later, with great saving and lots of personality, he closed his fence in pure technique and with a lot of reflection.
Armani’s first save came 25 minutes into the first half. Silvio Romero faced a barrel with and enabled Lucas Lima, who tried to put Fortaleza first again. however, Franco removed the danger with his legs.
A minute later, Lucas Lima was the test again. Now he rehearses a left-footed shot, albeit with more comfort. A shot that was, again, the River goalkeeper deflected into the corner with a rapid decline.
At that point, River began to show signs that defending his night would not be entirely good. Something Armani tried to correct from some shouts to coordinate departures and directives to captain Enzo Pérez to command the medium.
With Fortaleza attacking with a crowd, Armani will shine again in 36 minutes. A game from the right to the middle of the local team, with help from Hércules up, ended with a powerful shot by Lucas Lima. And the santafesino saved a pure reflection.
And by the end of the first half there was another, very difficult. Philip headed for a Crispim cross from the right and Armani opened his arms to slap the ball and thus clear it to remove the danger in action.
Armani repeated his level in the second half. Although he doesn’t have to fly very well to show off his talent, he has the foot speed to get to two dangerous Fortaleza head-ups first. And he even forced a failed sense of Depietri’s exit to quickly cut to avoid second place.
At age 35, Armani still remains, and River isn’t the only one celebrating it. Also, Lionel Scaloni.
