River Plate held to a draw by Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza | OneFootball

At the Malvinas Argentinas stadium and for matchday 8 of the Apertura, River drew 1-1 with Independiente Rivadavia, in Marcelo Escudero’s second stint as interim coach after Gallardo’s departure and while awaiting the arrival of Eduardo Coudet.

La Lepra opened the scoring at 17 minutes into the first half with a stunning goal from Gonzalo Ríos.

El Millonario responded and at the 37th minute, Gonzalo Montiel equalized the match with a header.

In the second half, River took more initiative but lacked the depth to break the tie. They also appealed for a possible penalty due to a handball by Studer, which referee Facundo Tello did not award.

It ended 1-1 in Mendoza, with the points shared and a team still in transition while waiting for a new coach.
