The Colombian’s desire began to come true in Mar del Plata: he scored a goal, gave two assists and was the protagonist of River in the 3-0 over Aldosivi at José María Minella.

I am grateful for the opportunity they give me and I am very happy with the game I played and because I was able to help the team. I work because when they need me, I can contribute what is mine, ”said Borja after River’s victory and his brilliant performance.

Borja entered – together with Pablo Solari and Nicolás De La Cruz – in the 15th minute of the second half. And in less than five minutes he unstitched it. River’s first goal was born, in fact, from his feet: he pivoted in the genesis of the combination of passes ended with a precise cross from De la Cruz and continued with his masterful technical gesture, when he gave an assist with his chest at that Agustín Palavecino scored the 1-0.

The show had just begun. Because Borja was once again decisive in the race for the second conquest of the River: a pure feint against Tomás Lecanda, he gave up on Beltrán’s goal. “The defense (sic) closed me well and I saw Beltrán who was alone. And I cast some magicah, but always with respect to his rival “, the Colombian expressed about that play.

And after Aldosivi took the center, Borja, with sheer power, put his first on the River to sign the 3-0 final.
