River had a first half to remember against Vélez
.
He scored three goals in 20 minutes, one from
Facundo Colidio
and two from
Miguel Borja
, both with headers.
He had taken his foot off the accelerator a bit, had a bit of anxiety in his own area around the half hour mark, and at the close of the initial stage,
the fourth goal arrived, which was to save it in a square.
Pure tiki-tiki
.
Everything was born from a recovery near midfield.
Claudio Aquino
had possession on his back, the Uruguayan Fonseca put pressure on him and the ball was left to Borja.
With the rival in a bad position, the response was lethal: the Colombian opened for Colidio, the forward extended for Nacho Fernández, who touched towards the middle for the entry of Barco, who let her continue with an imperceptible backhand towards the former Tigre striker, who converted the fourth, the second of his personal harvest.
FONSECA RECOVERED, COLIDIO SCORED AND RIVER'S FOURTH ARRIVED AGAINST VÉLEZ IN THE MOST MONUMENTAL.

There were six touches in eleven seconds of offensive transition that reflect the ease with which River played against Vélez, leaving behind the irregularity in the performance that it had shown in the draw against Argentinos and in the victory over Barracas Central during the week.
Colidio reached four goals since he arrived at the Núñez entity, where he played 18 games.
