Juan Román Riquelme gave a reminder of his wonderful talent last night in Parque Patricios as his exquisite free kick proved enough to eliminate Racing Club from this year’s Copa Argentina. The one moment of true quality gave Argentinos Juniors victory and of course it arrived courtesy of one of Argentina’s finest ever enganche’s right boot. From an acute angle, Riquelme measured his free kick to perfection and curled it beyond the hapless Sebastián Saja and into the top corner. While it remains a joy to watch Riquelme still produce this type of magic, the depression at Racing continues. Argentinos will now face Estudiantes de Buenos Aires in the Quarter Final.
