River Plate will visit Colón de Santa Fe today in search of their first victory in the Professional Football League (LPF), which if achieved would also serve to end a 12-year streak without winning in the “Elephant Cemetery”.
The match valid for the third round will be played from 19:00 at the Brigadier General Estanislao López stadium, with the arbitration of Patricio Loustau and broadcast by TNT Sports.
In the VAR there will be Héctor Paletta together with Lucas Novelli.
The “Millionaire” has not won on the “Sabalero” field since December 4, 2010. During Marcelo Gallardo’s cycle of successes, he did not manage to do so even in the four games played with two draws and two defeats.
In total, there are already six games in which Colón, who just drew 2-2 in an exciting classic against Unión, has not lost to River.
The goal, therefore, will be double for River, since they began defending the 2022 Professional League tournament title with two goalless draws, first against Defense and Justice in Florencio Varela, and then against Atlético Tucumán. at the Monumental stadium. .
Colón also failed to win in the league as his victories in his away match at Atlético Tucumán and in the classic against “Tatengue” slipped away towards the end.
On his debut at José Fierro he took the lead thanks to a goal from Facundo Farías, a penalty, but with seven remaining Cristian Menéndez equalized.
And last Sunday, in an exciting classic, Falcioni’s side began to lose, reversing the situation with goals from Farías and Ramón “Wanchope” Ábila, but the Unión equalized in injury time after a controversial penalty.
