River Plate made the decisive move before the interval, building that 2-1 advantage to seize control of the result without ever fully putting the game to bed. Plaza Colonia stayed close enough to keep the pressure on, and the contest remained open after the restart as both teams added once more and pushed the score on to 3-2.
That pattern shaped the match highlights. River Plate had the cushion, Plaza had the chase, and the second half carried real tension because one more moment either way could have changed the night. Instead, the hosts protected their narrow edge and saw it through in front of their home support.
For River Plate, the summary is straightforward - three goals scored, two conceded and three points secured in the Segunda Division. Plaza Colonia left empty-handed despite scoring twice, and the final stats around the score underline just how tight the contest was.
It also marked a response to the previous Segunda Division meeting between the sides, when Colonia won 3-0. This time River Plate flipped that result on home soil and came out on top in a far more dramatic encounter.
