Football: River Plate defeat Aldosivi 2-1 in Superliga Argentina

The South American champions River Plate outsmarted Aldosivi 2-1 away from home in the Superliga Argentina. Nicolas De La Cruz and Rafael Santos Borre scored one each and backed their side days before facing Flamingo, who hail from Brazil, in the 2019 Copa Libertadores final, which will happen in Chile this month. River Plate are struggling in the top-flight - but the same is not looking the case in the South American competition, where they do hold a chance to win the Copa Libertadores for the fifth time in their history, having one the fourth one in 2018 after defeating Boca in the two-legged tie.
