A Superclásico is coming: Borja scores a great goal for River's 3-1 against Banfield.

Youth player Santiago Simón, in the 7th and 44th minutes of the first half, opened the scoring with two long shots from outside the box, and Miguel Borja scored River Plate's goals, while Andrés Chavez reduced the deficit for Banfield.

The last goal by 'Millonario' came in the 65th minute, when 'Nacho' Fernández recovered the ball in the midfield and sent a good pass to the Colombian, who this time did not forgive Cambeses and made his mark on the scoreboard. With this partial victory by 'millonarios', we will witness a new superclásico in the final of the tournament.

River vs. Banfield: What's Coming

After finding out which team will be Boca Juniors' opponent in the Trofeo de Campeones final (the 'Xeneize' reached the final after winning the Professional Super League and the Diego Armando Maradona Cup), both River and Banfield will have immediate action in the Argentine local tournament.

On one hand, 'Millonario' will host Arsenal at the Monumental on Sunday, February 26 at 7:15 pm (Argentine time) for the fifth matchday of the Professional League, where they are currently in fifth place with 9 points, three behind leader Lanús (12), who has only achieved victories in this 2023.

On the other hand, 'Taladro' is going through a different moment and is obliged to make their home ground count when they host Independiente on the same Sunday. The team led by Javier Sanguinetti is going through a bad streak (having lost two matches and drawn the same amount), which reflects their inconsistency this season.
