ESRIVER'S PERFORMANCE IN PARQUE PATRICIOS WAS NOT ENOUGH With two goals by Mora, the team had overcome an adverse result against Huracán, but it ended drawing 2-2, and due to the fall in the first leg, it could not reach the final of the Copa Sudamericana.
River fought and it stayed one goal ahead of the feat, but it ended up drawing 2-2 against Huracán and it will not defend its title in the Copa Sudamericana. Gallardo's team had fell 1-0 in the Monumental stadium, and in the second leg, it could overcome from a 2-0 down with two goals by Rodrigo Mora, although this good second half was not enough for classification.
A goal of Toranzo in the beginning of the match facilitated the task of Huracán, which bet counterattack, had spaces and, in 26 minutes, scored the second goal thanks to Ramon Abila, who obliged the visitors to score at least three goals if it wanted to win the series.
El Millonario showed other face during the second half, driven by the entry of Mayada and later of Lucho González. A goal by Mora in 24 'complement ignited hopes for River, which from there looked for the feat showing its well-known character. In 36 ', the Uruguayan reappeared in the area to take advantage of a pass of Lucho González and tied the game.
From there to the end, River sought by all means the third goal that would give it the classification, but even it had chances (the more evident was again in the foot of Mora, who shot from the edge of the area after Alario pivoting between rival defenders), it lacked clarity and then was the homeowner who got the ticket to the final games.
So, el Millonario was left without the chance to defend the title it had reached in 2014 and now it will begin its preparations for the last great challenge of the year: FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2015.
