Overview
- River beat Argentinos Juniors 2-0 to snap a six-match losing streak in AFA competitions, with Gonzalo Montiel scoring and Ángel Correa adding a late penalty.
- A tense press conference followed the win when club‑partisan reporter Hernán Santarsiero asked if Coudet had treated the slump lightly, prompting the coach to reply, “soy respetuoso pero no boludo.”
- Coudet rejected suggestions he took the crisis lightly, saying he had “put his head on the line” after the previous match and that he personally invested hours to help secure recent player signings.
- The coach said Marcos Acuña has returned to training, Sebastián Driussi should be available soon, and Gonzalo Montiel left the match with an adductor concern.
- River now shifts focus to its Copa Sudamericana trip to Bogotá, a short-term test that will shape whether Coudet’s defense of his stewardship calms criticism or keeps scrutiny intense.
