Soccer-Colidio's brace gives River Plate 2-0 victory over Independiente
BUENOS AIRES, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Facundo Colidio netted twice to give River Plate a 2-0 win over Independiente in the Apertura tournament of the Argentine Primera Division on Saturday.
River, who were previously held to a goalless draw by San Lorenzo, sit fourth in Group B on eight points. Independiente missed out on the top spot and remain second on nine points, behind leaders Rosario Central.
Both teams had chances to break the deadlock in an exciting first half, with the visitors coming closest when Ivan Marcone's deep pass found Lautaro Millan, but the midfielder was unable to connect with Gabriel Avalos after a poor exit by River goalkeeper Franco Armani.
River Plate broke the deadlock six minutes into the second half. Gonzalo Montiel's pinpoint pass into the box was met by Colidio's superb header, much to the delight of coach Marcelo Gallardo in the sweltering conditions at the Mas Monumental stadium. Colidio doubled the lead in added time to seal the victory.
