River lose at home to Deportivo Riestra, fans boo their own team
River Plate lost 1-2 to Deportivo Riestra, at home, at the Monumental, in the tenth round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, and was booed by its fans.
The goals were scored by Antony Alonso and Pedro Ramirez for the visitors, while Giuliano Galoppo scored for the home team.
To make matters worse, the Millonario suffered the expulsion of Maximiliano Salas in the second half.
The match was crucial for River, who came into the game against the “Malevo” reeling after a tough elimination from the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Palmeiras.
They started off losing at the 12th minute of the first half when Pablo Monje sent in a precise cross to the head of the Uruguayan Alonso, who left Franco Armani with no chance to react.
Marcelo Gallardo’s team would reach the equalizer in the 24th minute, when Galoppo picked up a clearance from the rival defense and beat Ignacio Arce with a powerful volley.
In the second half, Deportivo Riestra regained the lead, as Pedro David Ramírez took advantage of a defensive error in the six-yard box and fired a precise shot that ended up in the back of the net.
With this defeat, River could not reach the top of the table and heads into the Copa Argentina clash against Racing even more battered.
