After the Superclásico won once morest Boca Juniors in La Bombonera, River Plate continues celebrating. This time he was crowned champion of the Senior League, with an outstanding performance by Ariel Ortega. El Burrito scored one of the goals with which El Millonario beat Platense 10 to 0 and won the title following going undefeated in six games and adding 45 points, 12 more than their second team Estudiantes. In addition, he scored 56 goals and had 23 scored once morest him.
The defining duel took place at the River Camp and the legendary striker was accompanied by other historical players such as Alejandro El Chori Domínguez, the Uruguayan Rodrigo Mora and Diego Armando Barrado, among others. With a huge audience in the stands of the complex located in Ezeiza, Burrito Ortega scored the ninth goal with a shot outside the area worthy of his right-footed boot that so graced Argentine and world football.
Thus, the team led by Máximo Gallardo, father of the Muñeco, had great encouragement from the hundreds of fans who came, collaborated with non-perishable food and were able to watch the match for free. After the first 35 minutes, River Plate was already leading 6-0 thanks to goals from Chori Domínguez, three from Mora, and the rest from Domínguez and Barrado.

In the complement, the Millonario increased the score with goals from Walter Acevedo, Wilson Severino, Ramírez and Burrito Ortega, who poked the rival goalkeeper and unleashed madness in the stands. This goal also caused a stir in the networks due to its similarity to the unforgettable goal he scored once morest San Lorenzo de Almagro, on a very special date for him, since it was his new debut in River Plate following his time in Europe and a short cycle in Newell’s Old Boys of Rosario, where he was crowned champion.
That feat of Burrito Ortega occurred on November 5, 2006 on a rainy followingnoon at the Monumental stadium. In that historic bullfight, the moving story of the partisan journalist, Atilio Costa Febre, would also be recorded. “Do it and I’ll die, monkey… I’m leaving, that’s enough for me. I love you until the end of our lives. I love you football-wise. You were always mine, Ariel. This goal does not deserve my cry, it deserves the cry of your people,” the party reporter expressed excitedly.
River Plate beat Ciclón 5-0 thanks to goals from Víctor Zapata on two occasions, Ernesto Farías, Burrito himself and one more from Tecla at the end. The coach was Daniel Passarella who ordered the entry of Ariel Ortega from the bench at 23 minutes of the complement. Ten minutes later, Burrito invented this work of art and scored over goalkeeper Sebastián Saja.

As Ariel Ortega himself recognized, it is one of the best goals of his career and not only because of the quality of this goal, but because of the context in which it was scored. El Burrito had just suffered a sanction from FIFA in 2003 that prevented him from practicing sports. In 2004 he might be qualified but from Núñez, following a controversial decision by José María Aguilar, the forward might not return to his first love and ended up at Newell’s, where he ended up being crowned champion.
Until in 2006 he was able to fulfill his dream of returning to the Millonario and following some personal problems and injuries that prevented him from making his debut as he wanted, that November 5, in the match corresponding to date 14 of the Apertura Tournament, he made his long-awaited return.
13 years later, in an interview with LPM TV in 2019, Burrito Ortega referred to that unforgettable goal and Atilio’s exciting story: “When I heard Costa Febre’s story, I started to cry. At the time I didn’t listen to him because he was playing. But every time I hear it I get excited,” acknowledged the River Plate legend.
