Álvaro Montoro assists for Botafogo in 1-0 win vs. Atlético Mineiro

Álvaro Montoro had the assist for the only goal of the match in Botafogo’s 1-0 win vs. Atlético Mineiro.

Montoro continues his good form for Botafogo. After being named as part of the U20 Argentina national team for the U20 World Cup which begins later this month, the 18 year old provided a great assist.

The Argentine received the ball outwide and dribbled inside the penalty area, crossing it to Santiago Rodríguez who scored. Alexander Barboza also started for Botafogo while Joaquin Correa was substituted into the match and Fausto Vera started the entire match for Mineiro.

With Botafogo, Montoro has two goals and one assist in his last three league matches.

Lionel Messi scores twice, assists for Inter Miami in 3-2 win vs. D.C. United

Lionel Messi scored twice and had one assist for Inter Miami in their 3-1 win against D.C. United.

D.C. United would draw level minutes after the break as Lionel Messi would begin the Lionel Messi show. He would have an effort which would hit the cross bar.

At 1-1, Jordi Alba would play a pass in to Lionel Messi and he would score from inside the penalty area to give Inter Miami the 1-0 lead. With Inter Miami leading 2-1, they were awarded a penalty kick.

It was Mateo Silvetti which would take the penalty for Inter Miami but his effort would hit the crossbar. Minutes after, the referee would go to VAR for a possible penalty for D.C. United but no penalty was awarded.

With Inter Miami leading 2-1, Messi received the ball outside of the penalty area and the Argentine’s effort would go into the top corner of the goal to give Inter Miami the 3-1 lead. D.C. United would get one more goal in injury time but Inter Miami would get the win.

River, Racing, Vélez and Estudiantes keep semifinal hopes alive in Copa Libertadores

The first legs of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals wrapped up this week, with River Plate, Racing, Vélez, and Estudiantes keeping their hopes alive for a place in the semifinals.

River Plate faced Palmeiras in São Paulo and endured a rough first half, going 2-0 down through goals by Gustavo Gómez and Vitor Roque. However, Lucas Martínez Quarta scored late to keep Marcelo Gallardo’s team in the fight. The match also featured Argentine players José Manuel López and Aníbal Moreno in Palmeiras’ lineup. River must win by one goal to take the series to penalties, or by two to qualify directly. Any draw or defeat will see them eliminated.

In the all-Argentine clash, Racing secured a valuable away win against Vélez at the José Amalfitani, thanks to a goal from Maravilla Martínez. The return leg will be played at the Cilindro, where Racing advances as long as they avoid defeat. Vélez, meanwhile, needs a one-goal win to force penalties or a two-goal margin to progress.

Estudiantes took on Flamengo at the Maracaná and looked in serious trouble after falling 2-0 down inside the first nine minutes. Guido Carrillo’s late strike, however, gave Eduardo Domínguez’s side a lifeline. At home in La Plata, Estudiantes must win by one to take the tie to penalties or by two or more to move into the semis.

With narrow margins across all four series, Argentine clubs still have everything to play for in the return legs. The coming week will determine how many of them make it through to the last four of South America’s biggest tournament.
