River Plate played again in the Monumental stadium, this time, as local against Aldosivi. El Millonario took over the game in the opening minutes and it had clear chances to open the scoreboard, including a great shot by Lucho González that hit the crossbar and that SebastiánDriussi transformed in a goal, but was he was in offside.

However, in a corner, Pablo Lugüercio went in search of the ball in the first post and headed it close to the second post: Marcelo Barovero could do nothing and the visit found its unexpected first goal. River continued to go in search of the tie and it had chances to score but it lacked the precision in the definition.

In the second half, River continued to control the game, but it faced complications to break the defense of the visit. Before minute 30, TabaréViudez enabled Rodrigo Mora, who let the ball drop to define with class and set a fairer result.

El Millonario had some situations after the goal, Aldosivi too, but the draw would not move. And in extra time, GermánDelfino expelled Gabriel Mercado.

On Wednesday, River will be local against Chapecoense in the first game of the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana.
