The start of the Marcelo Gallardo cycle at the local level is not ideal, which is why River feels the need to add three points after stringing together three consecutive draws that left it relegated in the standings. El Millonario was far behind leader Vélez before the match against Independiente, so it was a key game to close the gap.
River started the date twelfth with 17 points In the general table, 10 points behind the leader Vélez who beat Independinete Rivadavia, and sixth with 44 points in the annual table thinking about entering the Copa Libertadores, just two points behind the last classified. With an extra player almost the entire afternoon, Millonario could not defeat Rojo and did not go beyond a goalless draw.
A draw that is of no use and leaves River almost out of the fight for the championship, barring an epic comeback. He reached 18 points, nine behind the leader Vélez. The break for the qualifiers is coming, which will help Gallardo to polish the team’s physical appearance.
