This Tuesday, River played home on Independiente's court and beat Liga de Quito 3-0, for the fifth date of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores de América.
Apart from the goals of Rafael Santos Borré, Julián Álvarez and Jorge Carrascal, one of the pearls of the night was the work of Mariano Closs.
It is that, seconds before the third goal was consummated in favor of the team led by Marcelo Gallardo, the reporter with vast experience subtly recalled the historic final of the top-ranking continental tournament at club level that River and Boca played at the Santiago stadium Bernabéu, in Madrid.
"The third is coming, the famous third ... from Carrascal .... Goool," said the story after the Colombian Carrascal received an assist from Lucas Pratto.
Immediately, the repercussions exploded on social networks, to the point that the phrase "the famous third party" became a trend.
"THE FAMOUS THIRD"

Weeks ago, Closs had expressed his joy for his characteristic and remembered story in the third goal of Gonzalo "El Pity" Martínez that established the final 3-1 on the Real Madrid field, on December 9, 2018: "There are things that Many times they are not paid by a contract or good money. To be in the videos tomorrow when a Boca-River of finals is revived, when there is no more on the planet and that continues to happen, my children and my grandchildren can do it. See, it leaves me with a spectacular flavor that is priceless. "
After the victory against the Ecuadorian team, River qualified for the round of 16 as first in Group D with 13 points, the product of four victories, one draw and one defeat.
In second place was Liga de Quito, with 12 units.
For their part, San Pablo and Binacional were eliminated from the contest.
