River Plate 0 - 2 Colón
By: Christian | November 26th, 2007
The new year cannot come soon enough. After suffering some of their worst setbacks of the season recently with elimination from the Copa Sudamericana and the resignation of Daniel Passarella, piled on with the news that Ramón Díaz will NOT be joining the club as head coach next year, River only added to the suffering with a dismal 2-0 loss at home this past Saturday to Colón de Santa Fe.
It was a match that had little riding on it with la banda already out of contention for the league, and rightfully none of the players showed anything apart from Juan Pablo Carrizo, who saved River from a much worse embarassment with some strong saves in the first half. Oscar Ahumada unfortunately was on the opposite end, getting a straight red card in the second half on a horrible challenge, his third on the year.
With only two games left in the season, River are close to putting the misery to an end.
Notes: The official attendance at the Monumental this Saturday was only 15,000… Not counting the loss on penalties to Arsenal in the Copa, this was River’s first defeat at home this season, and was Colón’s first ever win at the Monumental…The supposedly big fixture of the weekend was the Avellaneda derby detween Independiente and Racing Club, but both teams showed us how dull they really are in 0-0 snooze fest…Lanús may have lost a golden opportunity towards their first title yesterday by drawing 0-0 hours after Boca lost to Arsenal 2-1, but el granate still control their own destiny with two matches left. However, they will face Boca at the Bombonera this weekend.
