At the end of the match between River Plate and Deportivo Táchira in Venezuela, Nicolás Fonseca appeared with a great goal from another match to make it 2-0 in favor of Martín Demichelis’ team in the Copa Libertadores. The Uruguayan midfielder’s goal gave the Argentine team complete peace of mind in their debut in the 2024 edition of the main South American tournament.

It was in the 79th minute when the 25-year-old player took the ball in the Venezuelan team’s field, let it bounce into the air and from more than 30 meters away, he hit a right foot that made goalkeeper Alejandro Araque’s flight sterile. .

Fonseca is the son of Daniel, a former striker who had a short-lived stint at River Plate at the beginning of 2002 and is remembered for a great goal from a free kick once morest Boca Juniors in a friendly match in Mendoza for the summer tournaments.

River Plate had taken the lead with a carom goal from another Uruguayan, Sebastián Boselli, who opened the scoring following a rebound in his face in the 72nd minute. It was somewhat deserved for Núñez’s team, who wasted three clear chances for their scorer, Miguel Borja.

The team led by Demichelis was more than its rival, but it did not have eloquent supremacy in its first presentation this year in the Copa Libertadores. He had greater possession (64 percent), although he failed to capitalize on it in the opponent’s half.

In the second half, River Plate once once more took the initiative and had the ability of Facundo Colidio as one of its main cards. The former Boca Juniors player became unbalanced in some instances on the left wing.

However, the key to the victory was based on the entry of Claudio Echeverri in the 66th minute instead of Ignacio Fernández. El Diablito brought out his dribble and, for example, the first goal was born from a play from the right in which he entered the area and then came Boselli’s intervention.

The 18-year-old player from Chaco, who shone in the Under 17 World Cup and who was sold to Manchester City, was the key to the Millonario team’s victory. Diablito’s game gave him clarity and he managed to unblock a match that was complicated for River Plate.

The Argentine team had nothing left over at the Pueblo Nuevo Stadium and due to some of their individuality they were able to get the three points and start on the right foot in this edition of the Copa Libertadores.

River Plate is part of Group H that also includes Nacional of Uruguay and Libertad of Paraguay. On the next date, the team led by Demichelis will play on Thursday, April 11, once morest the Uruguayan team, at the Monumental Stadium, from 9 p.m.

But first, River Plate will have a tough challenge to consolidate its classification to the quarterfinals of the League Cup. On Sunday they will host Rosario Central, starting at 9 p.m. It will be the penultimate day of the group stage. For now, Núñez’s team is fourth and is occupying the last place for the next stage of the domestic tournament.
