Ángel Correa has been chosen by fans as the man of the match following Club Atlético River Plate's victory over Banfield. The forward topped the official poll published on the club's website, www.Club Atlético River Plate.com, this Monday.
Correa received a commanding 59.42% of the vote in the 'Figura del partido' (Player of the match) survey. His teammates Thiago Almada and Sebastián Driussi completed the podium with 23.65% and 16.93% of the preferences, respectively. This recognition comes after a key 3-2 away win on August 30, a result that keeps the team unbeaten in its last five league games.
The victory in the south of Greater Buenos Aires allowed River Plate to secure its third consecutive win. The team from Núñez currently sits in 11th place in the Liga Profesional Argentina, with 7 points from 2 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. However, their recent form is encouraging, with a run of 3 wins and 2 draws in the last five matches, scoring 7 goals and conceding 8 so far this season.
This upturn in form is vital to close the 9-point gap to the leaders, Argentinos Juniors. Fans can track the team's progress in the standings on our standings page. The next challenge is an away trip to face 8th-placed Atlético Tucumán on September 12.
