River target three points against Sarmiento at the Monumental | OneFootball

The Estadio Monumental will be the stage for the closing match of the 11th round of Zone B in the 2026 Torneo Apertura. Starting at 7:45 p.m., Eduardo Coudet’s River Plate will look to assert their home advantage against Facundo Sava’s Sarmiento de Junín, in a clash that promises intensity.

The match will be officiated by Darío Herrera, while Adrián Franklin will be in charge of the VAR to supervise the action in Núñez.

A River side with big names “Chacho” Coudet will field a lineup that combines international experience with the boldness of his young gems. The return of Gonzalo Montiel and Lucas Martínez Quarta to the defense brings solidity to the back line, while all eyes will be on the creative trio formed by Tomás Galván, Ecuadorian prospect Kendry Páez, and Ian Subiabre, all at the service of top scorer Sebastián Driussi.

The “Colorado’s” approach

Meanwhile, the Junín side arrives at the Monumental aiming to cause an upset and take home valuable points for their battle in the standings. With the solidity of Juan Manuel Insaurralde at the back and the danger posed by Junior Marabel as their lone striker, Sarmiento will try to shut down the paths of a Millonario side that will come out pressing from the very first minute.
