Temperley achieved a heroic victory by beating River in the penalty shootout for the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup, in a match that took place at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza after equalizing 1 to 1 in regulation time and winning on penalties 5 to 4. That meeting was not just another one for the sport of Arroyito since one of its representatives was one of the outstanding Julián Mavilla.
Julián Mavilla broke it against River, he was the starter and the most unbalanced in his team’s historic victory against the Millonarios. Ezequiel Barco opened the scoring with a great goal from a free kick and Fernando Martínez achieved the agonizing equality. In the penalties the gasolero was more successful and did the feat. With this result Temperley is still in the race and will face Miter de Santiago del Estero in the round of 16.
He young man from Arroyito commented “emotions of all colors, a perfect week for the team, We are very happy, now we have to continue day by day. At all times we thought we could hit the ground running, Talking to the guys at the hotel, we couldn’t imagine any of us losing to them.”.
“We have material, we know what we play, We knew that we could complicate the game, When they scored against us we always had the same faith, We never stopped believing in ourselves, we knew how to give our best. Now thinking about Gymnastics, we will see what we can achieve with our game.”
“Thank you very much for the space, Let me send greetings to my family, my girlfriend, her family, and my friends who are always there. A big hug and greetings,” the native of our city closed the dialogue.
It is worth saying that Mavilla had just scored against Gimnasia y Tiro for the First National and he establishes himself in the team in which he has already played 5 games as a starter. Temperley managed to climb the reduced area. The light blue team won 5 wins in the tournament and 3 were as visitors.
