The day that Millionaire and Xeneize fans were waiting for has come. River Plate will visit Boca Juniors at La Bombonera for the Argentinian Superclásico, and for this reason, the visitors' followers decided to bid farewell to Marcelo Gallardo's team in a grand way.
The fans of the Millionaires gathered for a great flag-waving outside the Monumental stadium. With chants, drums, balloons, smoke torches, and applause, the fans waited for the club's bus to come out.
Marcelo Gallardo's team is heading to the Bombonera, which will be filled with Xeneize fans. However, the outcome is uncertain. Both teams are focused on the championship after being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.
The match will take place on Sunday, September 11th, for matchday 18, starting at 15:00 (Peruvian time) and 17:00 (Argentinian time). It is worth noting that both Boca and River have 29 points in the standings and will seek the three points to catch up with Atlético Tucumán, which has 34 points, while Gimnasia has a total of 33. Huracán is close behind with 32 points.
On the other hand, the AFA revealed that the main referee of the match will be Darío Herrera, who will have Juan Pablo Belatti as the first assistant and Diego Bonfá as the second assistant. This will be Darío Herrera's fourth superclásico. His record is two victories for Boca and one draw.
