First saw Gonzalo Martinez block a Francesco Pio Esposito fired at the point of the point, before Lautaro Martínez sent a wide promising attempt.

Not obstructed by previous chances lost, Esposit once again tried to direct Nerazzurri’s accusation, but when he tried to come to a cross from the left to the near post, Paulo Diaz Put his body in line with a block that he saw that hit the ground tightly.

The Italian side continued to crush after the break and saw four chances go begging in the space for several minutes.

Martinez first spread but a challenge from Marcos Acuna did enough to force an error in the post. Before someone could fall, Henrikh mkhitaryan was in the goal but blocked by a combination of two river defenders, with Federico Dimarco resting widely in return.

A weak point from point of view from Franco Armani Then he denied Martinez a few minutes later.

A double change from the river bench immediately after the clock brand brought an instant increase, and they could have taken the lead themselves when Facundo Colidio Met a cross from the left, just to turn to Sommer’s arms with a poor effort.
