River Plate seal 3-1 win over Platense in Argentina
River Plate secured a 3-1 home win over Platense in their opening match of Argentina's Clausura championship on Sunday after the visitors were reduced to 10 men in the second half when midfielder Marcos Portillo was sent off. River got off to the perfect start in the Group B match with a goal in the seventh minute when forward Facundo Colidio cut inside and fired home a stunning right-footed effort. Platense equalised through forward Ronaldo Martinez's header in the 24th minute but striker Maximiliano Salas netted 15 minutes later to restore River's lead, flicking in a low cross from Colidio to score on his debut for the club. Platense's task became more difficult when Portillo was sent off in the 75th minute for elbowing Gonzalo Montiel, and Miguel Borja added a third for River in added time to wrap up a comfortable win at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. River were playing for the first time since the Club World Cup, where they finished third in their group and failed to reach the knockout stage. Coach Marcelo Gallardo's side were also looking to restore some confidence after being knocked out of the Apertura tournament quarter-finals by eventual champions Platense in May. "I'm happy. We played a great game," forward Salas told TNT Sports. "It's nice to start with a win, it gives us confidence to keep working hard. With a lot of humility and hard work, we're going to improve. "Sometimes you can play badly, well or averagely, but the most important thing is to give it your all. On the pitch, you have to give it your all, and whether you score or not is secondary."

⚠️ Vietto a doubt: trained separately at Racing ahead of Fortaleza clash
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Racing concludes its participation in the group stage of the 2025 Copa Libertadores by hosting Fortaleza at the Presidente Perón Stadium in team led by Gustavo Costas is already qualified for the round of 16, although naturally, they aim to secure the top spot in the group, against a Fortaleza that wants to take it from them. For that, the team of Juan Pablo Vojvoda will need to win at the Cilindro. ℹ️ Luciano Vietto, con un cuadro de sacroileítis, trabajó diferenciado. — Racing Club (@RacingClub) May 26, 2025 The news this Monday brought bad tidings: Racing reported the injury of Luciano Vietto after Monday's training sessions. The 31-year-old forward trained separately due to a case of sacroiliitis, an injury affecting the lower part of the spine and the lumbar area. Thus, his participation in Thursday's match is in doubt. Vietto is a key player for Costas, but between some injuries and the lack of rhythm they entail, he has experienced a period of ups and downs since his return to the Academy in the middle of last year. If his absence is confirmed, Vietto would join another significant absence already affecting the team's attack. Maximiliano Salas, affected by a muscular injury, missed the game against Colo Colo and is still in recovery, so Ramiro Degregorio is expected to return as a starter for Racing against Fortaleza. 📸 Marcelo Endelli - 2025 Getty Images
