River Plate kept its unbeaten streak at the Copa Libertadores by beating Uruguay’s Nacional 2-0 at home on Thursday. The team coached by Martin Demichelis leads Group H with six points and after just two group stage games, has virtually secured its qualification for the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.

River dominated affairs from the get go in the first half. After missing two good goal scoring chances in the first minutes, the Millonario took its dominance on the pitch to the scoreboard in the 14th minute. Pushing through a counter, Manchester City-bound midfielder Claudio Echeverri picked up the ball in the middle of the park, cut-in with his right foot and slotted a 30-meter low shot for the 1-0.

¡GOL DE RIVER! ¡¡GOLAZO DEL DIABLITO ECHEVERRI PARA EL 1-0 ANTE NACIONAL!!
