Teenager Lencina bags brace as River crush Instituto 4-0
Santiago Lencina struck twice as River Plate hammered 10-man Instituto ACC 4-0 on Saturday, making for two wins from two matches for the visitors in Argentina's Clausura championship. River top Group B standings with six points, while Instituto sit seventh with three points. Facundo Colidio put River ahead in the 44th minute, with a deflected shot before 19-year-old Lencina doubled their lead just moments before halftime with a left-foot strike that deflected off Instituto centre back Fernando Alarcon. Lencina made it 3-0 in the 67th minute with a well-controlled shot after receiving the ball in the box, while Instituto were reduced to 10 men six minutes later, after midfielder Francis Manuel Mac Allister received a red card for a foul on Lencina. River made the most of the red as Giuliano Galoppo added a fourth goal to wrap up all three points in style at the Estadio Juan Domingo Peron in Cordoba. Lencina was one of River's standout players, keeping the opposition defence on their toes as he scored his first two goals in the Argentine top flight. "It was a dream day. Since I was a kid, you always dream of this moment ... I'll never forget it," Lencina told ESPN. "I always started playing on the left. Last time (River manager Marcelo Gallardo) put me on the right. Wherever I play, I'm going to try to give my best. I scored my first goal on the left. I'm very happy." Despite the dominant scoreline, Gallardo said it was not smooth sailing at the start of the game. River went on to dominate possession and had seven shots on target, three more than Instituto. "Instituto positioned themselves firmly in midfield and tried to put us under pressure on the inside. We struggled to settle into the game for those first 15 minutes, until we started to find ourselves," Gallardo told reporters. "There were some good things after that and at the end came the goals, which gave us peace of mind. Then, in the second half, we were better with the ball. We ended up having a good game overall."

Carlos Tevez gets new job with struggling top flight club weeks after four-goal Soccer Aid display
CARLOS TEVEZ has bagged himself a sensational new gig just weeks after scoring four goals in a jaw-dropping Soccer Aid performance. The former Manchester United and Manchester City striker has been named technical director of Argentine top-flight side Club Atletico Talleres. 3 3 3 Tevez is stepping in after the sudden resignation of boss Diego Cocca and his entire coaching staff. The 49-year-old is no stranger to making headlines, but even by his standards, this is a bold new chapter — with the club currently sitting 14th in Zone B of the Argentine top division. Fresh off his four-goal heroics in the star-studded charity match in Manchester, he now takes the reins of the Albiazul with the full backing of the board. A club statement read:"Following the resignation of Diego Cocca and his technical staff, the board has made the decision to appoint Tevez as the new Technical Director.' The Argentine icon previously managed Rosario Central in 2022 and Independiente in 2023, and now returns to the dugout with big ambitions — and even bigger expectations. The main aim will be to keep the team in the top flight of the Argentine football pyramid. His first training session with the squad will be held immediately at the Amadeo Nuccetelli High-Performance Sports Center. He begins the task of turning around a side desperate for survival — and dreaming of future silverware. The club admitted it's been a 'difficult day' following Cocca's shock exit, but Tevez's appointment has already lifted the mood around the camp. And with the kind of firepower he showed at Soccer Aid — not to mention his trophy-laden career in England and Argentina — fans will be hoping Tevez can inspire Talleres to become contenders once again. Tevez is best remembered in the Premier League for several iconic moments — including saving West Ham from relegation in the 2006/2007 season. He also formed a formidable trio with Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United, helping the club win two Premier League titles and the Champions League. Later, he controversially became a key member of the Manchester City team that won their first league title in 44 years.
