Deportivo Riestradebutant in the First Division, will be home this Sunday River Plate, in one of the matches that will mark the continuity of the fourth date of zone A of the Professional Football League (LPF) Cup. The match will begin at 5:00 p.m. in Bajo Flores, in a historic event for the local team, with refereeing by Andrés Merlos on the field and Yael Falcón Pérez in the VAR.

The curiosity will be due to the low capacity of the Guillermo Laza stadium, with only 3,000 seats, which made it the smallest in the category below the Claudio Tapia of Barracas Central (4,400).
Article 84 states that Primera stadiums must have 5,000 locations for their members and 4,000 for their subscribers to stalls and boxes, in addition, at least 15,000 locations for the public who buys an entrance ticket and 1,000 for those who additionally purchase a stall or box. . In any case, the AFA approved it.
The reality of both is antagonistic, since Deportivo Riestra has only one point so far and River, after a hesitant start, has already added seven units.

Riestra will have Cristian Fabbiani’s debut as coach – his second cycle at the institution – after the surprising departure of Matías Módolo, who took the club to the First Division.
The “Ogre” spoke this week with different media and anticipated that he will seek to “put pressure” on River Plate to get him to play in “his own area, near Franco Armani” with the aim of “taking advantage of a mistake.”
“On Sunday we will have a historic match against River and we will have to enjoy it. They are the best team, the one that plays the best in Argentina. Everyone knows that I am a River fan, but today I defend this shirt. My goal is to direct it (River) some time and for that I have to prove by beating him,” highlighted the coach.
“Riestra is in the First Division because he was always superior to his rivals. It is easy to hit Riestra because he comes from the First D. I know the situation of the club, I know the reality and if he is here, no one gave it to him,” he commented on the controversial penalty. given by Joaquín Gil in Wednesday’s game against Comunicaciones.
For now, Fabbiani anticipated the formation of his team this Saturday, one day before the clash.
