Ex-River player from Enzo Pérez’s keeper match eyes top-flight promotion | OneFootball

The former Millonario striker will try to reach the top division of Argentine football with Estudiantes (RC), who will play the final of the Reducido against Deportivo Madryn. Here’s how his time at Núñez went and what happened with his career.

Estudiantes (RC) is in the final of the Reducido for promotion to the Primera División, where they will face Deportivo Madryn, first in Córdoba and then in Chubut. The sky-blue team features several players with experience in the Primera División, such as Fernando Belluschi, Sergio Ojeda, and Agustín Fontana.

The latter was part of Marcelo Gallardo’s River from 2021 to 2023 and was present in that historic Millonario victory in the Copa Libertadores, 2-1 against Independiente Santa Fe in the group stage, which featured Enzo Pérez as goalkeeper and several youth players making their debut due to a massive COVID outbreak in the professional squad.

The Lomas de Zamora native played the full 90 minutes, as La Banda couldn’t even fill the substitute bench. He even had two golden chances to open the scoring but couldn’t convert. In fact, he has more trophies (3) than goals (0) at Núñez, although it should be noted he only played 15 matches.

Without a place at River, the Banfield youth product went on loan to Defensa y Justicia, but things didn’t improve much: two goals and three assists in 31 matches. Later, he left as a free agent to Sarmiento in August 2023, in a deal where the Millonario lost money, since they had paid one and a half million dollars to Taladro, the club where he performed best with nine goals in 42 games.

In June 2024, he became a free agent from Verde de Junín and remained in that status for two months. In September, he joined Águilas Doradas of Colombia until February of this year, when he arrived at Estudiantes de Río Cuarto. With the Colombian side, he only played six times and didn’t score.

With the Córdoba team, he had a modest performance: 22 matches in which he scored three goals and provided one assist. The curious fact is that he has already been sent off twice: the first time, in the first leg of the Reducido quarterfinals against Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta for a second yellow card. The second, a straight red against Temperley.
