Newell's Old Boys 2-3 River Plate
River continues in good form, and showed it by beating Newell's in Rosario. River Plate played a first half that was worth the game, and went to half-time winning 0-2, after giving a brilliant performance to the hinchas. On the second half, and like it happend against Libertad, River started the game relaxed, wich gave Newell's hope to turn the game around. Los Leprosos pulled one back andr were dominating the match. But, on a counter-strike, Sambueza scored and rested Millio's fans. Newell's scored once more to bring some fairness to the result, as they also played a good match
