River beat Talleres, clinch Copa Libertadores spot via league table | OneFootball

River defeated Talleres 2-0 on Matchday 13 of the 2025 Clausura Tournament at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Córdoba, with goals from Gonzalo Montiel and Maxi Meza.

The Millonario ended their streak of four consecutive losses in the Clausura and moved into qualifying spots for the 2026 Libertadores based on the annual table, overtaking Boca.

The first half was uneventful, and the Millonario took the lead just before halftime with a goal from Montiel, who finished after a shot from Milton Casco hit the post. Guido Herrera managed to get a touch but couldn’t keep it out.

River’s Goal

In the second half, Marcelo Gallardo’s team was playing poorly and Carlos Tevez’s side was getting closer to equalizing, but a moment of brilliance from Facundo Colidio allowed him to set up Maxi Meza, who finished and scored the second.

River’s Second Goal

With a two-goal lead, the match was practically decided and the Núñez side was closer to scoring a third than the Córdoba team was to pulling one back.

Carlos Tevez’s team couldn’t completely shake off their demons, as they are just three points above the relegation zone, and could be only one point clear if San Martín de San Juan beats Independiente.

On Friday, River will face Independiente Rivadavia in the semifinals of the Copa Argentina, also at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium.
