Football sensation and Liberta debutant makes history at Maracanã
Champions of the 2025 Copa Argentina and the best team in the current Argentine league season, Independiente Rivadavia had a special night this Wednesday (15).
The Libertadores debutants’ first international trip in their history ended with a win right at the Maracanã.
Rivadavia fell behind, but came from behind to beat Fluminense 2-1.
The match was valid for the second round of Group C in the competition.
The result left Tricolor in a delicate situation.
And ended a five-year unbeaten home run in international tournaments.
Arana scores, but...
One of the new faces in the starting XI, Arana opened the scoring after a good passing move.
The Argentine side came back well after the hydration break.
And punished Flu in the air before halftime.
The comeback came after Zubeldía’s team had a corner in its favor.
The counterattack proved lethal after a string of mistakes and a goal from top scorer Alex Arce.
Zubeldía even took off a center-back to drop Bernal deeper — in classic Diniz "style."
Even youngster Wesley Natã, who will turn 18 on Saturday (18), was brought on.
Fluminense pushed. But failed to save at least a point.
Standings situation
Flu remain on just one point in Group C — the same as Bolívar.
Rivadavia, meanwhile, moved up to six. Completing the group is La Guaira, who have two.
Tricolor now face two straight away matches: against Bolívar and then Rivadavia.
They will need at least four points to avoid getting into even deeper trouble.
