VARIOUS SCORE AND RIVER PLAYERS AFTER MATCH STORY: River Plate got a much needed 2-0 win at Talleres Cordoba Saturday (October 18) night to break their four match losing streak in the Argentine Primera Division Clausura tournament. River's Gonzalo Montiel opened the scoring in the 37th minute, knocking in the rebound from Milton Casco's shot off the post and Talleres goalkeeper Guido Herrera last second kick save ensured the ball found the back of the net. Augusto Schott appeared to equalize in first half stoppage time but his goal was waved off after a VAR check found Talleres offsides. River doubled their lead in the 68th minute on a tally by Maximiliano Meza after a nice move and centering pass from Facundo Colidio. Goalkeeper Franco Armani was barely tested the rest of way as River's defense tightened up to finish out the 2-0 win at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. (Production: David Grip)

Paredes then deflected a Belgrano free kick into his own net four minutes later to make it a two goal deficit.  Boca would grab one back though Exequiel Zeballos in the 66th minute but couldn't find an equaliser. The result leaves Boca 7th in Group A with 17 points, one behind fourth-place Belgrano.  (Production: Conal Quinn)

No more than two minutes use per match. Must on screen courtesy 'MLS on Apple'. No use after December 31, 2025. No monetisation. No resales. No sublicensing) 1. STORY: Lionel Messi recorded a hat trick and added an assist and Baltasar Rodriguez scored the tiebreaking goal as visiting Inter Miami used a second-half assault to defeat Nashville SC 5-2 in a Decision Day matchup on Saturday (October 18)  night. Telasco Segovia also scored for Inter Miami (19-7-8, 65 points), who won their third straight game. Miami will be the No. 3 seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs and faces a rematch with No. 6 Nashville in the first round. Sam Surridge and Jacob Shaffelburg scored goals for Nashville (16-12-6, 54 points), which didn't allow a shot over the first 34 minutes before being badly exposed in the second half. Messi finishes the regular season with 29 goals while all but clinching the Golden Boot. Surridge and Los Angeles FC's Denis Bouanga each have 24 with the latter in action against the Colorado Rapids later Saturday night. Rocco Rios Novo made five saves for Miami, while Nashville's Joe Willis had four stops. Nashville was nursing a 2-1 lead in the second half until Andy Najar was called for a hand ball. Messi took the ensuing penalty kick in the 63rd minute and easily sent a left-footed shot into the left corner of the net to tie the match. The goal energized Miami and it moved ahead just four minutes later. Luis Suarez took a right-footed shot that Willis knocked away. But the ball bounced over toward Rodriguez, who sent a right-footed shot past Willis to give Miami a 3-2 lead. Messi was at it again in the 81st minute as he booted a left-footed shot into the lower left corner to make it 4-2. In the first minute of second-half stoppage time, Messi had possession and closed in on Willis before feeding the wide-open Segovia, who kicked the ball into the net to finish off the flurry. Miami outshot Nashville 17-15 and had a 9-7 edge in shots on target. Nashville dominated play in the first half but led just 2-1 at halftime. Miami's initial shot came on Messi's goal in the 34th minute. He received the ball from Jordi Alba and had three defenders to maneuver around before sending a left-footed shot into the left corner of the net. Nashville responded in the 43rd minute when Hany Mukhtar sent a short centering pass to Surridge, who knocked in a header. Nashville struck again in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time. Mukhtar took a shot that caromed off the right goalpost and the ball went directly to Shaffelburg, who knocked it home to put Nashville ahead. (Production: David Grip)

SCORE GRAPHIC/ BOCA FANS LOOKING DEJECTED STORY: Boca Juniors were beaten 2-1 at home against Belgrano on Saturday (October 18) in their first match since the passing of head coach Miguel Angel Russo after a long battle with prostate cancer. Prior to kick-off, interim head coach Claudio Ubeda and Leandro Paredes, who wore the captain's armband in place of the injured Edinson Cavani, let off blue and yellow balloons carrying a Boca jersey in memory of Russo.  After a goalless first half, Lucas Passerini opened the scoring for the visitors in the 58th minute from the penalty spot. Paredes then deflected a Belgrano free kick into his own net four minutes later to make it a two goal deficit.  Boca would grab one back though Exequiel Zeballos in the 66th minute but couldn't find an equaliser. The result leaves Boca 7th in Group A with 17 points, one behind fourth-place Belgrano.  (Production: Conal Quinn)
