The second half followed the same pattern, with the Argentines pushing and Monterrey defending. Miguel Borja came off the bench to add more firepower but also saw two of his shots denied by Andrada.

Group E To Be Decided In Final Round

With this draw, River Plate and Inter Milan lead the group with 4 points each, while Monterrey sit at 2. Urawa Red Diamonds are officially eliminated with no points.

The group will be decided on Wednesday: River Plate face Inter, while Monterrey take on Urawa. The big loss for the Argentines is Kevin Castaño, who received a second yellow card in stoppage time and will miss the clash against the Italians.

The final stat line shows the imbalance: 18 shots for River to just 3 for Monterrey. But without a goal, it all comes down to the last matchday.
