Arsenal’s wins and losses
Arsenal was one of the controversial moments in the 2022 Reserve League, as the team had both wins and losses. Of course, fans didn’t get into fights like fans of Sarmiento and Boca teams, but a lot of controversy was inevitable. This year for Arsenal, the winning matches were against Tigre, Patronato and Aldosivi. That said, losing matches against Independiente and Barracas Central prevented them from qualifying further. Arsenal’s life in the League was over after the second round, although there is still hope that the team will rehabilitate itself in the Professional League, which will be held in January 2023.
River Plate’s doublets
River Plate is a well-known Argentine football team that was first mentioned back in 1901. The team was created through the merger of several clubs: Santa Rosa and La Rosales. The understudies represented the team River Plate quite decently, although this season the team faced many difficulties:
- Lecanda’s receipt of a serious injury;
- Quintero’s absence from the season;
- the withdrawal of renowned goalkeeper Leo Diaz.
Nevertheless, River were able to prove their talent in 2022 by beating Boca in one game. Getting to the 9/12 finals was a momentous occasion and it is possible that soon we will see River Plate in more famous and important matches.
Matches with the defeat of Sarmiento: the disappointment of the fans
Mariano Herrón’s Boca team was able to prove its hierarchy, but for Sarmiento the 2-0 debacle was decisive. Already in the 13th minute of the first half, the score was not in favor of Boca. By the way, Boca fans were not confused at all, and after a while the network was flooded with various memes.
But this was not the only loss for this team in the Reserve League. Another loss happened in the game against Independiente, 2-1. This loss was not very significant for Sarmiento, but it allowed Independiente to show their true potential and open the way to the next matches.
Players who could leave San Lorenzo
After the San Lorenzo team suffered a large number of losses in the 2022 Reserve League season, head coach Ruben Dario Insua and the team began planning the roster for the 2023 Argentina liga profesional reserve season. It is already known that some players are on the verge of leaving the team:
- Federico Gatoni. Despite the fact that the defender of the team received offers to extend his contract for 2023, there is a chance that he will still be transferred to a foreign team.
- Juan Ignacio Mendez. This player has already received some offers from overseas, so it is likely that he will leave the team in the near future.
The names Adam Bareiro, Nicolas Blandi and Cristian Zapata were also mentioned, although the coach stated that he would like to keep the players. Undoubtedly, it is very likely that the team will be filled with new players, so fans are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the squad.
