River Plate humbled at home by Tigre in the Argentine Championship | OneFootball

The River Plate experienced a night to forget and was defeated by Tigre with a score of 4 to 1 this Saturday at the Monumental, during the 4th round of the Torneo Apertura 2026. The performance of the Victoria team earned them the leadership of the competition and exposed the weaknesses of the Millonario at home.

With goals from Tiago Serrago, David Romero, and Nacho Russo (twice), Tigre capitalized on River's defensive errors and was efficient in transitions. The score could have been even more lopsided, given the visitors' dominance throughout the first half.

Despite having more possession, River created little and appeared nervous after conceding the first goals. The boos from the crowd at halftime reflected the below-expected performance, marked by individual mistakes and difficulty in responding.

In the second half, the scenario did not change: Tigre maintained control, extended their lead, and confirmed a historic result in Núñez. River's consolation goal, scored by Lautaro Rivero, came only in the final minutes, insufficient to avoid a resounding defeat. At 14 minutes into the second half, Fausto Vera, formerly of Atlético-MG and Corinthians, was sent off, leaving River short-handed.

Standings Situation

With this result, River is in third place in group B of the tournament with seven points, while Tigre leads the group with 10.
