River Plate made it past the group stage!

Let me know if you can watch the video as it always happens with Youtube channels that are blocked or limited in some countries

.

Last night (for my time zone at least), River faced the Bolivian team The Strongest, who won the first match with a crushing win in La Paz, Bolivia (post about said match), where some claim it is inhumane play and can delve into the subject in that mentioned post.

Now, in better conditions to play a sport as demanding as football, River Plate was able to make more of a difference and win 2-0, although it was not absolute dominance and on several occasions they were on the verge of drawing when the game was 1-0. so it was an interesting and intense game until a few minutes from the end the second goal came to calm the waters down a bit xD

Here I leave the final position table of group D, where River Plate was and thanks to other favorable results, they were able to overcome the group stage, because if other results were given in the last 2 games, despite having won , the numbers would have been a bit complicated and they might have needed goal difference to be able to overcome this obstacle..

Now, moving forward with the development of the competition, on Wednesday, July 5, the draw will be made to find out what the round of 16 crosses will be like...

In these tables are on the one hand those who were first and on the other the second of the groups, so in the draw the crosses will be each first against a second. Therefore, the most important derby in the Argentine league can take place in this instance, since Boca Juniors came first in their group and River Plate second in theirs... There is already speculation that this crossover can take place, that It's always a good show for soccer fans and very intense for fans of those teams...

We'll see next Wednesday how the crosses are set up!
