River Plate will receive tonight Students of La Platawho makes his DT interim debut after Ricardo Zielinski’s departure, with the intention of adding a new victory that will bring him closer to qualifying for the next Copa Libertadores de América.
The match will start at 9:30 pm at the More Monumental Stadium, with Ariel Penel refereeing and broadcast by ESPN Premium.
Marcelo Gallardo’s team was seven points from the top that Boca Juniors now have as their starter and although 15 points are up for grabs, the focus is on the annual ranking.
There, River is third with 64 units and has already taken six from Argentinos Juniors and nine from “Pincha”, the main rivals. Sunday’s 3-0 win against Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal brought the “millionaire” back to victory after being knocked out of the Argentine Cup by the Board of Trustees.
The students will arrive at Monumental after the 4-2 defeat against Colón in La Plata, and at the start of a new stage following the resignation of Ricardo Zielinski as manager after almost two years as manager of “León”. He will be replaced by Pablo Quatrocchi, who was in charge of the reserve.
