The elimination of River Plate on the night of this Wednesday before tiger for the League Cup quarterfinals was a surprise that ended in a mistake by the local team’s defense. The second purpose of Bullfighter It came after taking advantage of the failure of Paul Diaz. Facundo Colidio, a striker who came out of Boca, picked up the ball after a foul on the Chilean marker, faced Franco Armani and gently identified a side of the goalkeeper.
After the 2-1 and the disappointment for an unfulfilled goal, there is one thing that worries the Millionaire public: this year ignoring the last line is consistent. In the local tournament, Marcelo Gallardo’s defense He doesn’t know how to display that resilience that characterizes his eight -year cycle of great athletic success.
River’s defensive deconcentrations began at the Superclásico, the day Leandro González Pirez had a disagreement with Armani, which opened up a series of unusual bloopers at this level of high competition.
The five stupid goals River suffered
In that match played against Boca Juniors for date 7 of the League Cup, dubbed “of the classics”, González Pirez was under fan scrutiny after sharing negligence with Armani worth the fight against Núñez.
Luis Vázquez placed a long ball for Sebastián Villa, the central defender who had just played in MLS was confident the ball would land the goalkeeper, but it fell. Then the Colombian came in like a storm, stole the ball, dodged 1 and determined. And the superclásico ended 1-0 in favor of Boca.
River’s second mistake happened on his visit to Banfield for the 10th League Cup date. The fault in this instance is the sole responsibility of the goalkeeper Frank Armani when trying to pick up a center. The Argentine National Team goalkeeper also failed in the calculation and lost the ball, which fell at the feet of Jeremías Perales, who did not fail.
That night in the South of Greater Buenos Aires, a controversial VAR decision awarded River a penalty, which was scored by Enzo Fernández, so the Muñeco formation changed the result with a goal from Matías Suárez. It was a millionaire victory by 2-1.
Marcelo Gallardo’s team’s third defensive defeat was on the 12th against Atlético Tucumán, at the Monumental stadium. Again Frank Armani His reaction to a shot by Ciro Rius and handed the ball to Tucuman striker Ruiz Rodríguez was unsuccessful. The match ended on par with 1-1, when the Millionaire was a wide favorite to host one of the worst teams in home competition.

the archer Ezekiel Centurion wants to go out playing Leandro Gonzalez Pirezhe passed the ball to Emmanuel Mama but the pass is missing. Brian Mansilla took advantage of the general lack of attention in the local team’s background to put up slightly 1-1. However, in the end, and thanks to another controversial penalty, Julián Álvarez made it 2-1.
The fifth and perhaps most painful defensive failure was made by one of River’s best players in recent months, Chilean Paulo Díaz. The former San Lorenzo defender mis -handled the ball, which was filed to Facundo Colidio, and then he slipped when the logical thing was to break the advance with a foul. In the extreme cold, the former Boca and Inter Milan faced Armani and without hesitation, condemned the match. Gallardo’s anger was barely caught on TV everyone said. One that continues to be done especially in the Copa Libertadores, where neglect of them is ruining the year at the international level.
