The millionaires beat their eternal rival in the Super Clásico
Today, Sunday, the River Plate team won the Super Clásico title over its eternal rival, Boca Juniors, at the Bombonera Stadium, with a score of 2-0, in the match that ended in the seventh round of the second stage of the Argentine League. This is the first victory for the millionaires at Zenizi Stadium since 2018, and at that time also with the same result.
The current Argentine champion took the lead just before the end of the first half, in the 41st minute, through Salomon Rondon, with a shot from outside the area by Enzo Perez. In the final moments of the match, Enzo Diaz, in the 90+6 minute, scored a calming goal and fixed the final score at 2-0. In the middle, Edinson Cavani scored a wonderful goal with an acrobatic kick, but the pass was canceled due to a millimeter of offside.
With this result, River rises to second place in Group A with 13 points, and is one point behind leaders Independiente. In Group Two, Boca occupies tenth place with seven points, five points behind the current leader, Racing – Belgrano has played one match less, and if it wins, it will advance to the top with 13 points.
This was the last match for Boca Juniors before traveling to Brazil, where they will face Palmeiras on Thursday, in the second leg of the Libertadores semi-final, after a goalless draw in Buenos Aires.
