Deportivo Riestra once again took the lead against Vélez at the Guillermo Laza Stadium with a tremendous goal crafted between Pablo Monje, the assister, and Jonathan Herrera, the scorer.

The match of the eleventh round of Zone B in the 2025 Torneo Clausura was tied after Alexander Díaz’s ‘from a throw-in’ goal and Lisandro Magallán’s headed reply, but in the second half, the Malevo found the advantage once again.

And it came from a direct free kick, a few meters outside the box, in a set-piece play. Herrera approached Monje to talk, and just before the kick, slipped in among the Fortín’s defense, making a run after the referee’s whistle to take advantage of his teammate’s brilliant ‘chipped’ pass.

One-on-one with Marchiori, the Sultan didn’t miss and scored the 2-1 volley at the Guillermo Laza Stadium, extending his story at Riestra: he has 130 goals and is the club’s all-time top scorer.

The 33-year-old forward, who has shone with the Malevo in every division of Argentine football, has 9 goals in 27 appearances throughout 2025.
