The three key players from River's Club World Cup debut 3️⃣
River debuted with a victory against Urawa Red Diamonds and we bring you the three protagonists of the match. Facundo Colidio achieved efficiency If there is one issue for which the striker has been criticized, it has been for needing many chances to score. Well, in this match, he warned in the first that hit the post and the second that he had allowed River to open the scoring. Finally, he achieved effectiveness. Marcos Acuña, from enemy to hero The match of the ex-Racing had it all. He assisted for the first goal of the match, but when River went 2-0, he committed a clear penalty that gave life to Urawa. And to redeem himself, with a great execution from a corner kick, once again he dressed as an assistant in Maxi Meza's goal. Highs and lows for Marcos who ended with a positive balance. A more than exciting duel of fans Everyone was waiting for the show of the Argentine fans who sang during the 90 minutes, but from the stands opposite they also gave the gift and the duel between the stands was another of the great attractions of the match.
