00:00Tuono is bullied off the ball though, Miguel Borja.
00:05We've seen that a couple of times, you're not easy for a 16-year-old, is it,
00:08to come into a Libertadores game like this second half.
00:11It might change here, Collido, neat and tidy, Lanzini with the touch.
00:15Mastatuono!
00:17And there it is!
00:19The 16-year-old scores for River, and it might just be the winner!
00:24But, this football club just keeps producing young talents like this!
00:34Franco Mastatuono, remember the name, he could be very special indeed.
00:41He's certainly got a special individual moment.
00:44His first goal in the Libertadores, and it might be a big one too.
00:48Libertadores 1, River Plate 2.
00:50Yeah, there's the goal that we were looking for, Mastatuono on his weaker foot as well.
00:57Takes a little deflection as it goes through, but he does well just to close dribbling skills.
01:05Suri Abere.
01:08Just behind Borja, trying to keep it alive, Mastatuono!
01:11It's a good hit, but it's quite a nice height for the goalkeeper.
01:23He's just annoyed with himself.
01:24Perhaps rightly so, but he's been, uh...
01:27Had some good touches as River come, and it's struck, and Contreras, and the header is stopped.
01:32A little bit sloppy from Barcelona on two occasions.
01:45Under UC hit it with enough power.
01:49That's for sure.
01:51I say the wall is too close.
01:54Edging ever closer.
01:56Well, it's a teenager who sends it in, and it's easy for the keeper.
02:00They both prefer their teams to play.
02:06Colidio.
02:09Skip gets past Arriaga.
02:10It's a lovely ball looking for Borja.
02:12It's Miguel Borja.
02:13He's got past the keeper, and it's going to be River Plate's third on the night.
02:17And it's a simple tap-in for Franco Mastatuono.
02:22But it's all about Miguel Borja, the Colombian.
02:25He's only been on the pitch for two minutes.
02:27But he did fabulously well.
02:33It all starts with the pass from Colidio.
02:36Colidio gets a bit of luck to skip past Arriaga,
02:39but then it's that pass with the outside of the boot
02:41that plays in Borja,
02:43who does all the hard work getting around
02:45and Rua Verena in goal.
02:48Here's where Colidio perhaps gets a bit of luck,
02:54but that's where his quality comes in.
02:56Perfectly weighted pass for Borja.
02:59But an excellent response nonetheless from Dio.
03:04So here's Mastatuono.
03:05An opening for him,
03:07where it's on his least favoured right foot.
03:10But a dreadful mistake in Barcelona.
03:12In defence for Barcelona.
03:14They're down to ten men,
03:15and for Franco Mastatuono.
03:17It is a golden opportunity for him to score
03:20and give River Plate the lead.
03:23As we go into half-time,
03:24it's Franco Mastatuono,
03:25and there he makes no mistake.
03:28Brilliantly taken goal by the 17-year-old
03:30who continues to excel,
03:34to excite,
03:35and to score goals for River Plate.
03:40Brilliantly executed
03:41penalty that he himself won for River Plate.
03:45And with what will be the last kick of the first half,
03:48he makes it River Plate 3,
03:49Independiente del Valle 2.
03:56And it's another chapter in the Mastatuono story.
