With an alternative composition, although just as competitive (there were only two starters from the start), Marcelo Gallardo’s cast lost 1-0 to Talleres for the Professional League Cup. In another week, visit the Cacique in Macul.
It is not only in Chile that the cup teams think of dosing their teams to regulate the loads of the footballers. This is repeated on the other side of the mountain range. With the schedule tight in Argentina, River Plate has chosen to play with an alternative team this Wednesday against Talleres de Córdoba, at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium, for the eleventh date of the Professional League Cup. The “millionaire” team ended up losing 1-0 to T, rivals Universidad Católica in Group H of the Copa Libertadores.
Of Marcelo Gallardo’s recurring starting XI, only goalkeeper Franco Armani and midfielder Santiago Simón were present from the start. The Chilean Paulo Díaz, a fixed in the defense of River Plate, remained on the bench. Other stars who have been substitutes and have not entered are Milton Casco, Héctor David Martínez, Enzo Pérez and Julián Álvarez. For the Cordoba team, led by Portuguese Pedro Caixinha, Colombian Diego Valoyes scored in the 53rd minute.
With tonight’s loss, River finished second in League Cup Group A, with 22 points. In 11 matches, they have recorded seven wins, one draw and three losses. Beyond the result, Muñeco’s team is close to reaching the quarter-finals of the local competition.
The Argentinian casting match gives no respite, as They still have one game before they travel to Chile to face Cacique for the Libertadores. This Sunday, they receive Atlético Tucumán for the local championship. Then, on Wednesday 27, they visit the albos of the Monumental de Macul.
