VARIOUS OF COACHES AND PLAYERS AFTER MATCH STORY: River Plate's struggles deepened on Sunday (October 12) as they fell 1–0 to Sarmiento at a rain‑soaked Estadio Monumental, extending their league woes to four consecutive defeats in the Argentine Torneo Clausura. River, who have won just one of their last seven matches across all competitions, sit fifth in Group B with 18 points, five behind leaders Deportivo Riestra, who have a game in hand. Sarmiento moved into eighth in the playoff spots with 15 points. The hosts pressed from the start and came close to scoring but Sarmiento took an unexpected lead on the half-hour mark when Ivan Morales pounced on a Franco Armani error, the goalkeeper spilling the ball for the striker to slip it between his legs and in. River dominated possession after the break but struggled to break down Sarmiento's well-organised defence. Despite constantly reaching the area, the hosts failed to execute clear chances, drawing murmurs of frustration from the stands. While Sarmiento threatened on the counter, River's Paulo Diaz nearly levelled the score with a powerful long-range strike, but the ball clattered off the crossbar with less than 20 minutes remaining. In a dramatic finish, substitute Miguel Borja appeared to have scored a stoppage-time equaliser, only for VAR to intervene and rule the close-range finish offside four minutes into added time, sealing Sarmiento's shock win.
