and approach, with the result that the
defence conceded one goal in seven
games, and the attack struck 16 times.
While Eduardo Salvio was the highest
scorer in the season sprint finish, it was a
rejuvenated Tevez who led the line. His
star had shone dimmer in recent months
and there were questions over his future.
And while River were failing to beat
Atletico Tucuman in the north of the
country, in Buenos Aires it was Tevez’s
goal against Gimnasia that secured the
title. It was another personal milestone
for the forward – his 200th appearance
and his 10th title with the club.
While it remains unclear when the
Copa Superliga will resume, some club
directors see a chance to change an
already complicated league structure.
