The Argentine giant River Plate kicked off their away journey chasing their fifth CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores, facing off against Deportivo Táchira. The millionaires, led by Demichelis, clinched three points with goals from Sebastián Boselli and a stunning Puskas-worthy strike from Nicolás Fonseca, winning 2-0.

Deportivo Táchira couldn’t do much at home, even though VAR ruled out their consolation goal in the 90+3rd minute. Besides that disallowed goal, they didn’t even manage a single shot on target against the solid River Plate defense, marshaled by Chilean Paulo Díaz.
