Coudet effect: River beat Sarmiento, climb table with Driussi, Subiabre | OneFootball

On a perfect night for Eduardo Coudet’s team, River Plate defeated Sarmiento de Junín 2-0 in the 11th round of Zone B. The “Millonario” took advantage of their numerical superiority after a red card for the visiting side and secured their second consecutive victory under “Chacho’s” management.

Driussi and Subiabre sealed the win

The score was opened at the 40th minute of the first half. After relentless pressing, characteristic of Coudet’s style, Sebastián Driussi sent the ball into the net to spark celebrations in Núñez.

In the second half, River maintained control of the game and managed to put the match to bed in the 70th minute. The young Ian Subiabre, one of the coach’s biggest prospects, finished with class to make it 2-0 and secure all three points at home.
