The Millionaire went to Liniers with the aim of improving his image leaving the Monumental, but he was very far from achieving it. With a change of scheme from the start and with the presence of Solari and Colidio on the wings, he tried to supply Miguel Borja with the presence of more forwards. However, he was very inaccurate in the final meters, he lost the duel in the middle of the field and when they attacked him, they reached him with some ease.
At the start of the game in which River and Vélez shared the limelight, Fortín’s first notice came 12 minutes into the game, following a loss by Enzo Díaz at the start. Francisco Pizzini reached the bottom, shot a cross at mid-height and Juan Ignacio Méndez played first, without force and without direction, into the hands of Franco Armani.
Sebastián Méndez’s team never besieged River, but they did have a little more clarity regarding the game and where to hurt their rival. For this reason, following 22 minutes and following a masterful change of front from Lautaro Gianetti, Claudio Aquino received behind the back of Santiago Simón, improvised on the right side, and resolved with great category. He feinted for his right leg, passed Simón long and whipped out a whip that deflected off Emanuel Mammana and went over Franco Armani.
After the 1-0, River handled the ball a little more and got ahead in the field, but never managed to unbalance. Vélez did, who before the break was close to 2-0. In a combination of two former River, Elías Gómez launched a cross from the left and Braian Romero anticipated Ramiro Funes Mori with a header that went over the crossbar.

and River? He didn’t have a single scoring chance in the first 45 minutes. He had some individual saves from Facunfo Colidio on the left and some center back that found no receivers. Too little for the last Argentine soccer champion, who left a very pale image in the first half.
