Salas strikes as River see off Racing to reach Copa Argentina semi-finals

River secured a spot in the semifinals of the 2025 Copa Argentina this Thursday by defeating Racing 1-0 at the Gigante de Arroyito in a match that lived up to the hype, decided by a goal from Maximiliano Salas. The forward, labeled a traitor in Avellaneda for his less than graceful move to the Millionaires, did not disappoint at the start, and then Marcelo Gallardo's team managed to maintain the lead in an open game as the atmosphere heated up from outside to inside, ending with an erratic Maravilla Martínez being sent off and general brawls involving another former Academia player, Marcos Acuña. Now, the winner will face Independiente Rivadavia.
