It is true that the tournament has just begun, but every point counts and that is why River has the obligation to start fighting for the Professional League from the beginning. After having won their first two games, Millo faced their first away match, against Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal, to try to climb to the top of the table.
Racing beat Tigre and was momentarily the only leader of the tournament with seven points. River had the chance to pass him and he didn’t take advantage of it at all. They had an afternoon to forget at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium and fell 1-0, thus consummating their first defeat in the championship.
With this result, River was in second place with six points, the same as Belgrano, Argentinos Juniors, Talleres and Estudiantes, the latter two still not playing their match on the third date. The tournament starts and the team already has to row from behind…
