Overview
- River suffered a 1-0 loss to Tigre in Victoria that extended a run of defeats and left the club without a goal in the Torneo Clausura.
- Coach Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet told reporters he will take responsibility and step down if results do not improve, saying he will 'go home' if he cannot reverse the slide.
- Coudet publicly targeted referee Andrés Gariano after a challenge on Ángel Correa that was not given as a penalty and said the play was not sent for VAR review.
- The coach defended a major transfer-window rebuild but said injuries, delayed arrivals and limited training time have hindered the squad's consolidation and he expects Thiago Almada to be unavailable for the upcoming trip to Bogotá.
- The club faces rising fan pressure and a narrowed margin for patience that could force a rapid decision on Coudet's future depending on River's next results, including the Copa Sudamericana match in Colombia.
