Astrada's debut for River to be a change, even in attitude in the players millionaires. The truth is that River walk back to their insignificance in the field, and I leave the domain of independent actions. From the start the Red found the advantage: a header by Gandin, weak reaction by Navarro, allowed the de Avellaneda be set up. At 28 'Piatti received only in the area, turned easily to Colonel and defined with a subtle touch to score a second, an Independent who was playing against, and was much more dangerous than its rival. Silvera, at 33 'was a great pass from Mareque and defined with class before leaving the goalkeeper millionaire.

The second time was for more: Independent gave him the ball River, and he never knew what to do with it. Some middle-distance shots, and little more for the team of rookie Leonardo Astrada, who ordered the court to Mauro Diaz and Garcia to reverse history, but little they could do. At the end of the match, the referee fined a penalty River, which changed Gallardo goal. New defeat for the local, that is not getting off, another victory for Independent ranks second in the tournament.
