Marcelo Gallardo's men continue to forgive and miss chances that they could regret. This time it was Santos Borré who had the first goal for River against Boca at the Monumental , but he hit the ball poorly and Andrada easily controlled it. Earlier, Martínez Quarta had missed a similar chance.
Matías Suárez won on the right flank and crossed the ball into Boca's area, where the Colombian forward appeared, controlled the ball, but failed to put power in his shot, wasting another clear opportunity for River.
