Pablo Guede’s team started better and had the first clear shot of the match in a shot by Maximiliano Romero that was deflected by Franco Armani. Martín Demichelis’ men began to respond with a good play by Miguel Borja, who got into the area, dropped and Darío Herrera took a penalty, but the VAR called him and corrected his decision. Minutes later, the Colombian received a great pass from Ignacio Fernández, defined between the legs of Diego Rodríguez and opened the scoring, although it was annulled due to the advanced position.

What would be River’s probable eleven to receive Argentinos
At right back, a position so questioned in recent months, Andrés Herrera will start because it is the only alternative since Milton Casco is also recovering from an injury and Sebastián Boselli is playing in the Pre-Olympic with Uruguay, as are Pablo Solari and Claudio Echeverri, who do the same with the Argentine National Team. Meanwhile, Fonseca and Rodrigo Aliendro will occupy the vacant places of Nicolás de la Cruz and Enzo Pérez.

How Argentinos Juniors arrives at their debut against River
The team led by Pablo Guede will try to change the image left in the last League Cup in which they finished 12th in the area, with only 14 points. For this, the Bicho added several reinforcements in all lines, although at the start they will not be able to count on Federico Redondo or Luciano Gondou, who are also affected by the Albiceleste for the Pre-Olympic in Venezuela.
How River arrives at its debut against Argentinos Juniors
El Millonario arrives after a preseason in the cold of Dallas that was complex, because he lost many players due to injury. Gonzalo Martínez suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee for the second time in a year, Manuel Lanzini ended up with a tear in his right hamstring and Santiago Simón had a dislocated fracture of a finger. To make matters worse, Matías Kranevitter and Agustín Palavecino were injured in practice on Saturday.
