On September 4, 2026, River Plate hosted Independiente Rivadavia at the Estadio Monumental for the eighth round of the Torneo Clausura. The match served as the second game under interim manager Leonardo Ponzio, who aimed to build on a recent victory over Banfield to move the team closer to the playoff zone. River Plate secured a 3-1 victory. Gonzalo Montiel opened the scoring with a penalty in the 29th minute, followed by a goal from Álex Arce for Independiente Rivadavia in the 22nd minute of the second half. Tomás Galván ultimately secured the win for River Plate with two goals in the 8th and 34th minutes of the second half. With this result, River Plate has maintained a perfect record under Ponzio’s interim management and remains undefeated in four consecutive matches. The win moved the team to ninth place in Zone B with 10 points. Following the match, Ponzio expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, noting that the squad's hierarchy and ability to maintain defensive stability were key. He also indicated confidence in the club's youth academy, stating he “does not intend to seek further player acquisitions.” Recent reports following the victory highlight that midfielder Tobías Andrada has reportedly drawn interest from national team coach Lionel Scaloni due to his strong recent form.
