River's Slide Hits 43-Year Low With Home Loss to Sarmiento

Gallardo acknowledges a rough spell under mounting fan anger.

Overview

  • The 1-0 defeat at the Monumental made it six losses in seven across competitions, including four straight in the Clausura, a slide that matches 2010 and is the worst since 1982 per Numeral River.
  • Marcelo Gallardo labeled the stretch “un momento jodido” and said they will “see how we continue” after the season.
  • Home supporters whistled and hurled chants at full time, reflecting escalating frustration with the team.
  • River visits Talleres on Oct. 18 in Córdoba, with Gonzalo Montiel, Marcos Acuña, Rivero, Juanfer Quintero, Castaño, Galarza Fonda and Juan Portillo expected to return.
  • The slump threatens a 2026 Libertadores berth, leaving qualification to the annual table or a domestic title at risk.
