The clearest was the Cordoba team Damiano Puebla, who hit the crossbar with a free kick, and Miguel Brizuela missed a header on the rebound. Glory would get her revenge in the next play.

The fact is that, after an error at the start and the subsequent infringement by Rodrigo Villagra against Facundo Suárez inside the area – which VAR checked in response to the complaint of all River -, Puebla himself took charge of the penalty and opened the scoring 26 minutes into the match.

In any case, the Millionaire didn’t feel the impact. A few minutes after the opponent’s goal, Facundo Colidio misses a goal under the arc which seems to have been made and then Diablito Echeverri, one of the figures on the pitch, played a one-on-one that Manuel Roffo contained.
