River Plate form and stats

River Plate must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Primera Division games here at Parque Federico Omar Saroldi.

River are returning here after visiting Fénix in a Primera Division game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. F. Boné, M. Arezo (2) and L. Boggio scored the goal(s). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? World class coaching! That was the thoughts of G. Díaz Domínguez when F. Boné scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute. A late climax in the match against Fénix as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by F. Boné.

Preceding that match was the home game against Plaza Colonia that was lost 0-1.
