This will most likely be the headline of some of the most important newspapers in the morning. Angel Cappa made his official debut in El Monumental with a victory. The goals: Ortega and Ferrari.

With this Victory River finished a negative streak of 534 minutes without scoring a goal. River improved its image, played well and scored. Probably one of the highest points of the night was the return of Diego Buonanotte, the midfielder returned to the fields 4 months after the terrible car accident that took the life of his three friends.

Cappa made changes into the lineup; he started both Ferrari and Villagra, both defenders had been literally “erased” of the squad by Astrada. He also was able to lineup the three veterans (Almeyda, Gallardo and Ortega) for the first time in the semester. He started the team with Vega on goal; Villagra, Quiroga, Ferrero and Ferrari; Pereyra, Almeyda, Barrado, Gallardo; Canales and Ortega.

From the go you could already see changes on the squad, with both wide defenders (Villagra; Ferrari) pushing forward. Ferrari played a crucial role this match, not only because of his goal; he was a leader in the back and pushed the team forward during the 90 minutes. The team moved the ball well, and created some changes through an inspired Ariel Ortega, the midfielder played the best game of the semester. When the match was tied goalless Ortega was clearly brought down in the box after a good collective play, but the referee Pablo Lunatti called it off. Just minutes after a cross from Ortega found the head of Canales; the ball hit the right post and found its way out.

When everyone expected River to Score, Federico Higuain (former River Plate and brother of Gonzalo Higuain) scored for Godoy Cruz; this was like a bucket of cold water for the club of Nunez. But River didn’t let this to be a problem. Pereyra made a run through the left side, and crossed the ball back to find Ariel Ortega and tie the match. El Monumental went wild, because River had scored in the foot of its most respected idol; earlier this week the idol himself said he will continue in the club and hopes to do things correctly from now on. Less than a minute after the goal, the back line of Godoy Cruz made a mistake when they played the ball back to the last defender; he was anticipated by Paulo Ferrari who took the ball one on one with the goalkeeper, after dribbling past him he finished to the far post sealing a great night for the defender and former Captain.

Nearly the end of the match, Marcelo Ojeda came in for Daniel Vega (lumbar injury); the goalkeeper is expected to be fit for next match. Buonanotte made a good return; he had a very clear chance that finished right outside the far post (good news). River took down Godoy Cruz, one of the best teams in the league and leader until tonight. With this result, if Argentinos Juniors wins on Monday they will be the new leader. Our Friend “El Bichi” Borghi is the head coach of that squad.

Cappa showed some of the weapons he plans to use in this new River Plate; some fans already the praise the flamboyant coach (rushed comments), but is clear that he has a style in mind. Cappa has already said he wants to build a competitive squad for next season, in which he hopes to retain the three veterans and add players like Matias DeFederico and Andres D’Alessandro.
