Ex-Flamengo man Viña blunders badly for River, fans fume: “Disaster” | OneFootball

Matias Viña played only three games for River Plate (ARG)

Loaned by Flamengo to River Plate (ARG), Matias Viña is not having an easy time in Buenos Aires. Last Saturday (07), the team of the full-back lost at home 4-1 to Tigre (ARG), the Uruguayan made mistakes in two goals, was substituted at halftime, and became the target of insults from his own team's fans.

WHAT WERE THE INSULTS TO VIÑA?

“It's true that Acuña played badly, but the individual performance of Viña was the worst by a River player since Galarza's against Atlético Tucumán.”

“Acuña simply doesn't have the intelligence needed to handle these situations; other than that, he has everything he needs to play here. Viña is technically weak, and that already rules him out for River.”

HOW HAS VIÑA'S JOURNEY BEEN AT RIVER?

In official matches, Viña has taken the field three times for River. In his debut against Barracas Central (ARG), the Uruguayan performed well and played the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 victory. However, the downfall of the player loaned by Flamengo soon began.

In River's 2-0 win over Gimnasia (ARG), Viña was sent off 11 minutes into the second half after two yellow card offenses. Finally, in the last round, during the thrashing by Tigre, the full-back marked incorrectly and left Tiago Serrago free to open the scoring. Subsequently, the Uruguayan made a wrong tackle in a play that ended with Romero's goal.

HOW WAS THE NEGOTIATION DONE, AFTER ALL?

Third choice at Flamengo, behind Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, Viña agreed to be transferred to gain minutes, mainly aiming for a call-up to the World Cup with Uruguay. Thus, the Rubro-Negro loaned the player for a season.

In this way, Flamengo will receive R$ 2.7 million for the period. If Viña plays at least 50% of River Plate's matches in 2026, the purchase obligation clause will be activated, set at R$ 27 million. If not, the Uruguayan will return to Rubro-Negro to fulfill the remainder of the contract.
