The match between Deportivo Riestra and Velez Sarsfield went down in history. The streamer Ivan Buhajeruk 'Spreen', with almost 10 million subscribers on Twitch, made his debut as a starter and played 2 minutes in the Argentine Professional League. The reason was his sponsorship with the energy drink brand that also sponsors the club managed by Cristian Fabbiani: 'Speed Unlimited'.

The typical story you thought you would never read. A popular streamer debuted in the Argentine Professional League and played 2 minutes with Deportivo Riestra's jersey. Not precisely because of his quality, but because of the contract that links him with the same sponsor as the club: 'Speed Unlimited'.
Iván Buhajeruk 'Spreen' started the match between Cristian Fabbiani 's team and Vélez Sarsfield. The leader of the competition faced an opponent who started alongside Jonathan Herrera and has almost 10 million subscribers on Twitch.
For obvious reasons, social networks in Argentina were heated up about this issue. Thousands of users demonstrated their rejection of this type of initiative. The one that leads you to fulfill the dream of a whole generation by sponsorship, not by your own merits as a footballer.
Deportivo Riestra, who sit ninth with 31 points, managed to hold off leaders Velez Sarsfield despite the visitors coming close to coming from behind after Nicolas Ezequiel Caro cancelled out Romero's opener.
