Yesterday match against Colon in Santa Fe showed a lack of offensive game and team play. The defense was a disaster and lacked blood. Canales couldn’t find the goal and back, Quiroga, Ferrero and Sanchez left everything open for a huge rout.
From the beginning, Colon started attacking with several players and showed their strategy for the rest of the game. Of course they were at home and they could afford such a luxury. But they also knew Astrada had confirmed a defense with only three players and without Matías Almeyda.
That’s why, right in the first quarter, Colon started making dangerous arrivals at Vega’s goal. In one of them Bertoglio was alone behind the entire defense but kicked the ball outside the field. Then, Rivarola slipped freely in the area but missed an incredible goal.
Unfortunately, the worst came later with the early yellow cards, an unusual penalty by Quiroga, and the repeated and tireless breaches at the edge of the area. But, the worst of the worst was the unbelievable and thoughtless Quiroga’s red card.
That’s why we recommend turning on candles and praying, because if Vega wasn’t there River would be receiving thousands of goals. And if this were not enough, Rojas did not appear, Gallardo did not find where to deliver the passes, Villalva didn’t shine and Canales missed a goal almost done.
