😳 Old nemesis hits River again and makes history in Argentina | OneFootball

Belgrano is, indeed, a cruel nemesis for River Plate.

The team that sealed Millonario's relegation in 2011 went even further this Sunday (24): it won the Argentine Championship Apertura over the local giant. 

It came from behind to win 3-2 at the Mario Kempes Stadium in front of 50,000 fans. 

Securing its first top-flight national title in 121 years of history.

And a spot in the 2027 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Platense had already caused a surprise by winning the last Apertura and now another underdog has emerged on Argentine soil to celebrate an unprecedented trophy. 

There was DRAMA 🔥

Colidio put River ahead in the 18th minute.

The response came shortly after, in the 26th minute, through Leonardo Morales.

Millonario went back in front with Galván (60').

Victory (and the title) seemed only a matter of time.

But Nicolás Fernandez stepped up. He equalized from the penalty spot (85') and completed the comeback in the 88th minute.

Coudet, the former Inter and Atlético-MG coach who is now in charge of River, was sent off shortly afterward.

The late substitutions had no effect, and the Córdoba side made history.
