🎥 Argentina's sensation 🇦🇷, Liberta debutant makes history at Maracanã | OneFootball

Champions of the 2025 Copa Argentina and the best team in the current Argentine league season, Independiente Rivadavia enjoyed a special night this Wednesday (15).

The Libertadores debutants’ first international trip in history ended with a victory right at the Maracanã.

Rivadavia went behind, but came from behind to beat Fluminense 2-1.

The match was valid for the second round of Group C of the competition.

The result left the Tricolor in a delicate situation. 

And ended a five-year unbeaten home run in international tournaments. 

Arana scores, but...

One of the new faces in the starting XI, Arana opened the scoring after a good passing move. 

The Argentine side came back well after the hydration break.

And punished Flu in the air before halftime. 

The comeback came after Zubeldía’s team won a corner.

The counterattack proved lethal after a string of mistakes and a goal by top scorer Alex Arce. 

Zubeldía even took off a center-back to drop Bernal deeper — in classic Diniz style.

Even youngster Wesley Natã, who turns 18 on Saturday (18), was brought on. 

Fluminense pushed forward. But failed to save at least a point.

Standings situation 📊

Flu remain on just one point in Group C — the same as Bolívar. 

Rivadavia, meanwhile, moved up to six. The other team in the group is La Guaira, with two. 

The Tricolor now face two straight away matches: against Bolívar and then Rivadavia. 

They will need at least four points to avoid getting into serious trouble.
