Facundo Colidio's remarkable second-half goal clinched a hard-earned 1-0 victory for River Plate against Atletico Tucuman in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura. This win propelled Marcelo Gallardo's team to a second-place position in Group B, just two points shy of leaders Independiente.

Facing a sell-out crowd at the Mas Monumental, River Plate created multiple scoring opportunities in the first half, but the persistent efforts of Maximiliano Meza, Rodrigo Aliendro, and Franco Mastantuono were met with resistance. Meanwhile, German Pezzela executed a crucial defensive maneuver to thwart a dangerous rebound from Leandro Diaz.

Despite being reduced to ten men after Santiago Simon's late dismissal, Colidio expressed determination to maintain focus on future victories, highlighting the team's dedication to success under Gallardo's guidance.
