Between experience and youth
.
River, after a bad game on the Lanús field, was saved by
a big guy
and
a kid
.
When Martín Demichelis
' team
had entered a nebula,
Miguel Borja
opened the account and
Agustín Ruberto
sealed the match for the victory of the Millonario team over
Barracas Central
.
“Inside the area he is a beast
,” agree those who know Borja best.
And the goal against the team led by Alejandro Orfila last night shows this.
El Colibrí unmarked himself on a set piece and headed Esequiel Barco's cross into the net.
This gave River a break and he scored again like he did on Sunday against Argentinos.
With those two goals, he reached
25 goals with the red band
, in
63 games
, which gives him an
average of 0.40
.
In turn, he was one away from being the top scorer of the Demichelis cycle with
Lucas Beltrán
.
The experience was also provided by
Franco Armani
from the goal.
The Casildense was also key to River's victory, since with his several saves, he held the zero on the River Plate fence.

But not only the triumph was built with greats.
Also with the kids, who gave freshness to the team.
Ruberto
came on for
Franco Mastantuono
(he started and had a good game) and after a while he took the ball and hit a great right-footed shot to make it 2-0.
He himself described it:
“There was a rebound and Rodri (Aliendro) grabbed the ball, he gave it to me and I was facing the goal, I looked and hit him
. ”
And he added:
“I fulfilled a dream, since I was a child I have been fighting for this and having converted in my second game in First Division is a great source of pride
. ”
Ruberto arrived at River in 2012. They took a test and he immediately joined.
“I have Julián Álvarez and Beltrán as models.
They are very good players and I try to copy them
,” commented the 18-year-old youth born in San Fernando.
And that he has more dreams.
“I want to be champion with this shirt
,” he stated.
Earlier this year, the striker who was the top scorer in the U-17 World Cup renewed his contract with the club until December 2027, with a termination clause of 30 million euros.
And the icing on the cake regarding the kids came from
Ian Subiabre
, 17 years old, who made his debut in First Division when he entered near the end of the match.
