However, a bad gesture by the Colombian towards the River tribune generated a brawl that tarnished his performance.
River arrived with the mission of winning so as not to lose track of the leader, already in the decisive stretch of the championship, but it did not play well, and was surpassed in long passages by Leprosy from Mendoza, who deserved to keep the victory, even though it came in the last action of the night.
Sebastián Villa’s great goal that put Independiente Rivadavia ahead
Villa, a former Boca Juniors player, opened the account for Independiente Rivadavia in a breakaway that he defined with a right cross in the 6th minute.
River looked for the tie and achieved it thanks to a highly disputed penalty that Facundo Colidio scored in the 39th minute. Before that, referee Nazareno Arasa had annulled another due to a previous offside.
River had one last chance in a deflected right hand from Colombian Miguel Ángel Borja that grazed the right post.
In the last action of the match, Villa overflowed on the left and sent a low cross backwards that Ezequiel Ham (90+9) connected on the other side to beat goalkeeper Armani and declare Mendoza’s victory.
Sebastián Villa’s provocation to the River Plate tribune
From there came chaos. Villa celebrated in the worst way, making the gesture of pointing at the stands where the River fans were as if he had a machine gun.
The Colombian, advised by his teammates, went to the dressing room, where Pity Martínez went after him to attack him. Meanwhile, a fight arose on the court in which there was an exchange of blows between players and assistants from both teams.
River coach Marcelo Gallardo referred to the matter after the game. “It was a hot reaction to a gesture made by an opponent, and the game ended. Nothing justifies the behavior of the two teams. Nothing justifies it, those things happen sometimes when you’re hot. I think a lot of people got involved and it was very confusing, I can’t really detect what happened. It’s not good, I don’t like it. “You have to take the anger and keep to yourself.”
River remained in fifth place in the championship, with 36 points, but was eight behind Vélez, leader with 44, when there are only four games left and 12 units in dispute.
