Excitement Builds for River vs. Riestra Clash
The announcement of Kevin Castaño as the latest addition to River Plate has been the day’s major talking point, but let’s not lose sight of the upcoming match against Riestra. Under the stewardship of Marcelo Gallardo, the squad aims to replicate the strong performance displayed last weekend and secure another three points.
After enduring two significant setbacks — the loss to Estudiantes de La Plata and the defeat in the International Super Cup against Talleres — the Millonario found their footing with a narrow 1-0 victory over Atlético Tucumán in their iconic Estadio Monumental. While the scoreline may suggest a tight affair, the sheer number of clear chances created painted a different picture. Gallardo expressed satisfaction, stating, “The team’s performance spoke volumes. To dominate the match from start to finish was excellent. I’m thrilled because we needed to deliver a response, and we did.”
