Overview
- Marcelo Torres converted a penalty for Gimnasia and goalkeeper Nelson Insfrán saved Miguel Borja’s stoppage-time spot kick to seal the win at the Monumental.
- River have lost four straight home matches across competitions, a slump unmatched in the professional era and comparable only to a 1926 skid.
- Supporters booed and chanted for sweeping changes, and Marcelo Gallardo canceled his post‑match press conference after the team left the field to jeers.
- Facundo Colidio exited early with a muscle issue and will undergo tests, putting his availability for the Superclásico in doubt.
- River remain in a precarious Libertadores position with two games left, including Sunday’s trip to Boca—who just defeated Estudiantes—while newly elected president Stefano Di Carlo takes charge.
