RIVER COULD NOT WIN IN THE CLOSING OF THE TOURNAMENT

River Plate ended the domestic tournament at the Monumental Stadium against Newell's Old Boys and the closure could not be done with a smile. Marcelo Gallardo fielded its team with players who were not playing too much and there were moments of good football, with fast touches and triangulations.

El Millonario had some dangerous situations, but it lacked the forcefulness and precision in the definition. The opening of the scoreboard was due to a defensive inattention and Maximiliano Rodriguez, after being enabled by Denis Rodríguez, scored the first goal of the match.

On the end of the game, Ignacio Scocco made a tremendous shot to close the result, which prevented River from saying goodbye to the local tournament with a win.
