River fall 2-1 to Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito | OneFootball

RIVER lost 2-1 to ROSARIO CENTRAL at the Gigante de Arroyito, continuing the eleventh round of the Clausura Tournament.

The Millionaire missed Maximiliano Salas terribly and paid dearly for the early expulsion of Juan Portillo.

At 10 minutes into the game, the Colombian Miguel Borja opened the scoring, after an exquisite pass from his compatriot Juan Fernando Quintero. Shortly after, Franco Ibarra leveled the actions, following a set piece that River could not clear.

The Millionaire scored again with Miguel Borja, but this time it didn't count due to Facundo Colidio's offside position. Instantly, Juan Portillo was expelled from River for two consecutive yellow cards after failing to control Ángel Di María.

Ignacio Malcorra tipped the balance by opening his left foot and overcoming Franco Armani's resistance.

River had some chances towards the end, including a shot to the post by the young Dadín. The Millionaire accumulated their third consecutive defeat and ended up in the playoff zone for the next Conmebol Libertadores.

Rosario Central leads the annual table and Boca is second. The Canalla equaled the Millionaire in zone B, although they still owe 45 minutes of the match against Sarmiento.
