The former Colo Colo made his debut as a starter at the Monumental de Núñez, for the Millionaires, and scored twice in the first half. His cast ended up beating Newell 4-1.
Surely, Paul Solari won’t forget this day. The former Colo Colo player scored for the first time wearing the River Plate jersey, the team of which he is an acknowledged fan, and twice. A brace from Pibe helped the Millonarios win 4-1 against Newell’s Old Boys, in the Monumental de Núñez, for the 13 date of the Professional Football League.
For Solari’s nascent path with the “Blood Band”, the duel against Rosario was already a milestone, because It was his debut as a starter at the stadium where they are local, this place with so much history. Just like where he stood out in the Cacique, he was the right pointer for Marcelo Gallardo’s team. It took him three minutes to collect his first goals with River.
Within 30 minutes, Solari received the ball from Agustín Palavecino, sketched his right leg and fired a shot which went into the near post of goalkeeper Lautaro Morales. He celebrated the same thing as in Chilean football: competing in military style. Three minutes later the second came, with a low cross shot. Again he received a pass from Palavecino. A gust that gives another status to the young striker, former Talleres de Córdoba.
Solari hadn’t converted since July 10, on that rainy night in Santiago, in Colo Colo’s 3-0 win over Deportes La Serena.
In the second half, the marker moved more. At minute 64, the leper handover arrived via former Boca Juniors Pablo Pérez. But on the home stretch, River doomed the duel. In the 72nd minute, a header from Javier Pinola, after a corner, made it 3-1. And in the 80s, a superb goal from Matías Suárez sealed the final 4-1.
The one who was not was the Chilean defender Paulo Díaz, who a few days ago was a father. The central duo chosen by Gallardo was Emanuel Mammana with longtime Javier Pinola.
With this result, River Plate is in fourth place in the standings, with 21 points. They lead the surprising Atlético Tucumán, where Bolivian goalkeeper Carlos Lampe plays, with 28 units.
Rating Benegas
In the continuity of the day of Argentine football, Leandro Benegas was present on the Independiente bulletin board. El Toro gave Rojo the draw when they visited Lanús, the last in the league, which is now managed by Frank Darío Kudelka, the former coach of U. It was 1-1 in brown territory.
The inoxidable José Sand, 42, opened the account for the local in the 20 minutes of play. Benegas, who was the starter, tied the game at 83′. The cast of Avellaneda, whose coach is Julio César Falcioni, is 25th out of 28 clubs, with 12 points.
