The Monumental Stadium was impeccable expecting to see River play again. The match was against Temperley at the first official game on this semester in Nuñez neighbourhood. The team needed the victory to get on top of the tournament and be positive about next Tuesday’s match, the semifinal of Libertadores Cup.

However, during a free kick over the right angle, Ramiro Funes Mori got the ball and with his left foot put the ball just on the side of the right mast. However, this advantage soon ended: Gabriel Esparza took advantage of an inattention and got his chance. The match was now 1-1.
