Estudiantes coach Alex Sabella revealed that he was proud of his players, after the Pincha destroyed River Plate 4-0 in the Monumental to leave themselves on the brink of the Apertura title.
Goals from Leandro Desabato, Marcos Rojo, Matias Sanchez and Gabriel Mercado sealed an incredible victory for Estudiantes away from home, and was the first time the La Plata club had won by such an imposing margin in the Monumental against the Nunez giants. Estudiantes now need only to match rivals Velez Sarsfield's result on Sunday to win the Apertura, and Sabella struggled for words to describe the quality of the performance.
"The only thing you can do with these players, as I have always said, is stand up and applaud. For all they have been doing for themselves and for the club. Now everyone is talking about Estudiantes and that is the best recognition possible," Sabella stated in Wednesday night's post-match press conference.
"We kept our concentration and order throughout the game. The team played a fantastic match and when we had the chances we made sure we took them".
Estudiantes enjoy a two-point lead over Velez going into Sunday's title decider. The Pincha host third placed Arsenal de Sarandi, while Velez must travel to Avellaneda to take on fourth placed Racing Club
