ESTowards the conquest of America River Plate is 90 minutes away from glory: it will play the second final of the Copa Libertadores against Tigres, after drawing 0-0 in the first leg.
This is one of the most important moments in the history of the club. Each River Plate fan, throughout the world, lived the last week in a very special way. With that same sense of a decisive and important match.
It took a lot to get to this present. There was an institutional, social and sport reconstruction. All this work is reflected in every corner of the Monumental stadium and seriousness and sacrifice moved to the field from the hand of Marcelo Gallardo, who stamped his mark to the team and he is 90 minutes away from writing another glorious page in the history of the institution.
The goalless draw in Monterrey gave River the possibility of leaving an open outcome to define the match in the presence of their fans: with a victory, River will have a new Libertadores cup, the most important continent-wide competition, and the possibility to go as a champion to 2015 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.
Leaving no room for speculation, Gallardo cleared all doubts and made know the team two days earlier. Fernando Cavenaghi was confirmed as a starter, after the good performance that the captain had in his last matches. Moreover, Camilo Mayada will replace the suspended Gabriel Mercado and Nicolas Bertolo will take the place of TabaréViudez, who will be tested to see if he can be among the substitutes.
