translated from Spanish: He won the most important party in its history: River Plate defeated Boca Juniors and Copa Libertadores champion is devoted

River Plate, with a goal from Colombian Juan Fernando Quintero on the extension and another Pity Martínez at the last moment, when mouth already was playing with nine men by the expulsion of Wilmar neighborhoods Fernando Gago lesion with all your changes, in the final of the Copa Libertadores won by 3-1, it won the most coveted title and touched the sky in Madrid, from where will depart for the Club World Cup to complete a magical cycle.
In a match with little football, which far approached the fast-paced game of the round, River had the character to raise a goal against which failed to protect mouth, who ran out of resources after the expulsion. Everything was decided by a coup of kind of Quintero, the project of great star that never reaches the required consistency but is able to lead his team to the conquest of any title.
And, impressed by the stage, the importance of the duel or the change in temperature, River and Boca took more than half an hour to come into heat, to offer something more than disputes between rivals, strong leg and balonazos.
River wanted to take the initiative, but did not find the way Jenny play in the center of the field, and Lucas Pratto wandered the attack while the ball reached him. Mouth waited their chance, exchanged constantly between Sebastián village and Cristian Pavón bands, but did not create too much confusion in the rival.
For more than half an hour, all the danger that came to the areas was motivated by errors.
A bad clearance from Jonatan Maidana or failure of Leo Ponzio control next to the area, which offered to Darío Benedetto a foul on the edge of the area, whose decline was not tapped by Pablo Pérez (m.27), were the best chances of mouth.
A pair of releases from outside the area, too devious despite not having opposition Nacho Fernández and Gonzalo “Pity” Martínez, everything scared the team of Marcelo Gallardo.
In this scenario, moves better the whole of Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who as in the first leg, took the best opportunity on the edge of the rest. It was a pass at a depth of Nahitán Nandez that failed to clear Javier Pinola and Benedetto – become hero from the semi-finals – transformed into goal, after racing to Maidana and execute to perfection on the bail of Franco Armani (m.44).
River had more arrival after the break, approached the goal with a shot of Nacho Fernández, slightly deviated and before the time Gallardo sent to Juanfer Quintero instead of Ponzio, the field in search of a spark of the Colombian that the final balance.
Mouth, which ran out of Benedetto in 61, replaced by Wanchope Ábila, had no qualms about living the second time near your area, in search of some backlash decisive, but also exposed to any disruption to let him no advantage.
And this came in time to change the mood of the meeting, so that Nacho Fernández encounter with a pass to the center of the area to Lucas Pratto and RAM if restored equality.
River, which balanced the score in the first leg on two occasions and came to Madrid with a sense of injustice at having lost the local condition, went to get up and the “xeneize” to the starting square, with the feeling that, again, the title hanging of an isolated action.
Wasted it those of Barros Schelotto with an indirect free inside the area by Pinola (m.82) dangerous game and, with the game constantly locked by failures, both began to think about the extension.
An extension, as it could not be otherwise in the more rugged end of the story, it still brought a new twist to his amazing story; upon start, Wilmar Barrios, who won the second yellow for an unnecessary entry in the center of the field on an unpublished Exequiel Palacios was expelled.
Palaces, which is presented in what may be their Stadium soon, left no more than some detail and was replaced by the Julián Álvarez youth, soon after.
Mouth was becoming more exposed to the River talent. And if talent is spoken, no one better than Quintero, the most unpredictable, capable of disappearing for many minutes or get out of the hat shot to the squad to Crown a gesture confirming Pity to door empty, with Esteban Andrada in the opposite field to give the title to his team, to touch with your fingers the sky of Madrid and his rival to enter the worst nightmare.
