La Pagina Millonaria invites to relive the top five goals of recently finished Apertura season. It was difficult season for the MIllonarios, especially with changes affecting various sectors of the club, but the team delivered quality goals through the past six months. Below are the goals for your viewing, as ranked by RiverpPlate.com.
1. Ariel Ortega versus Chacarita
In River’s first home game of the Apertura season, Ariel Ortega gave the final goal to seal the win.
2. Marcelo Gallardo versus Boca Juniors
Once again, the ‘Muneco’ delivered a beautiful free kick past Boca’s Abbodanzieri, which was the only River goal in the draw against Boca.
3. Diego Buonanotte versus Gimnasia de La Plata
Off a breakway outside the main goal box, Buonanotte put River in a partial 2-0 lead against the ‘Lobo’. His class and style made him one of the best this season.
4. Mauro Diaz versus Velez Sarsfield
This recent goal against Velez was a product by Mauro Diaz off a great assist by Ariel Ortega. Although the match was lost, this goal was by far one of the best.
5. Matias Abelairas versus Racing Club
River’s first match with Daniel Passarella as President, Abelairas scored an AMAZING free kick to put River up 2-0.
