Overview

• Atlético Tucumán ended River's Clausura unbeaten run with a 2-0 home win, with Clever Ferreira scoring early and Leandro Díaz converting a second-half penalty after a VAR-reviewed opener for River was disallowed for offside.
• The defeat marked River's second loss in three days after falling to Palmeiras, a sharp contrast to their prior consistency this year, and Gallardo acknowledged the team failed individually and collectively.
• River stays second in its group on 18 points and now must travel to Palmeiras on Wednesday needing at least a one-goal win to force penalties or a two-goal margin to advance in the Copa Libertadores.
• Under pressure from supporters, Tigres coach Guido Pizarro defended his approach, confirmed André-Pierre Gignac will not travel as he is not fully recovered from a knee issue, and backed Ángel Correa's ability to lead the line or play across the attack.
• Elsewhere, Rayo Vallecano and Celta de Vigo drew 1-1 to leave Celta still without a LaLiga win, Atlético de Madrid tied 1-1 at Mallorca after a missed Julián Álvarez penalty and Alexander Sorloth's red card, and Tigre completed a suspended match to beat Aldosivi 2-0, further straining Aldosivi's survival fight.
