River Plate lost 1-2 to Banfield on Wednesday, September 14th, for matchday 19 of the Argentine Professional League at MAS Monumental stadium. Marcelo Gallardo's team could not recover from their last defeat against Boca Juniors in La Bombonera and are distancing themselves from the top positions in the league. Alejandro Cabrera opened the scoring at 26' with a great volley goal, and this way, the 'Taladro' went into halftime with the advantage.
In the second half, River reacted and, after a series of attacks, managed to equalize the match at 71' thanks to a great header from Colombian player Miguel Borja. However, just when everyone thought that the 'Millonario' would turn the game around, Vivas' team surprised them, and from a throw-in, Julián Palacios gave them the victory at 73'.
