The Argentine Football Superclassic between Boca Juniors and River Plate is one of the most watched sporting events in the world. In fact, according to a study carried out by the English newspaper, 'The Guardian', this match is the biggest event that any fan of this sport should enjoy before they die given the intensity with which these two teams play. Precisely, last Sunday, March 20, Luis Advíncula and Carlos Zambrano participated in this commitment that culminated in the victory in favor of the 'xeneizes' by 1-0, so in this article we will tell you the scores that were awarded by the main Argentine media.
To begin with, both players did not stand out in the same way and each had a particular performance. Although they were starters, 'Lucho' played only the first half because he received a 'child' yellow card at 32 minutes that conditioned his presence in the match by going over revolutions. Faced with this situation, coach Sebastián Battaglia chose to change it to Nicolás Figal to avoid being left without one less player on the field. Different was the case of the 'Kaiser', who also received the yellow but in his case he did not exaggerate in his temperament and was solid in many plays.
Now, the media 'Olé' and 'TyC Sports' constantly rate the players' performances on their respective websites, so below we will show you the score they gave to Peruvian players:
In the case of the first half, Advíncula gave him a score of 5 and with the following comment: “It was strong down against De la Cruz. Barco made it difficult for his sector. He fouled Alvarez and was able to see the second yellow.”
Obviously, the fact that he played only the first half conditioned him to have a better performance or even to have changed the history of the match, as he steadily entered into Julián Álvarez and also Milton Casco. A fact that the players of the 'Millionaire' noticed to raid through their area and seek the expulsion of the national winger.
On the 'Lion', they gave him a score of 7. He played the whole game and even almost scored an own goal, but goalkeeper Agustín Rossi, the figure of the match, prevented this from happening. What does stand out was the great crossing he made to avoid a comfortable shot for Tomás Pochettino, River's steering wheel who could have scored the draw. “He went up to the middle of the court to cut, in some it was hard. Alvarez got into his sector into the area and finished off. He wanted to clear and demanded Rossi. He finished very firmly from above. It crossed Pochettino, it was clear to River”, were the comments of 'Olé'.
For its part, the media 'TyC Sports', had different comments than those placed by its competition. In this case, de Zambrano highlighted that he had a good match, implying that he had some good and some bad ones, giving him a score of 5. “He didn't play well. In some he lost and in others he won. He always chose the ball to get out of the bottom. Also to the limit”, so was the qualification.
Meanwhile, the former Rayo Vallecano stressed his attitude in the match in which he could have been expelled, and that although he met the mark, he did not plan to attack. “Past of revolutions. On the verge of expulsion. He fulfilled the mark but almost didn't pass half the court. He was replaced at halftime by Figal”, it is read in the note where he was scored with 5.
