And last Sunday there were more than 10,000 in the superclassic against River.

Portanova’s team did not have a good game against Venezuela, even if they managed to recover the tie in the end. In the 35th minute of the first half, Mariana Speckmaier put the visitors in front with a left-footed shot at the near post. And in the plug-in, when the locals had already done all the wear and tear of the game, the tie came with a blocked ball from the left that fell into the area and which Aldana Cometti defined after a rebound from the goalkeeper.
