The crisis in River Plate continues. The team from Núñez suffered its sixth consecutive loss in the Liga Profesional Argentina, this time against Tigre. The losing streak is comparable only with a record from 1906, when the team lost seven games in that year's tournament.
What happened?
The loss was largely due to an error by Aníbal Moreno, who attempted to dribble past Jabes Saralegui, but was intercepted and Ignacio Russo scored.
Why is this important for River Plate?
The losing streak is a serious problem for the team, which is already 9 points behind the leaders Rosario Central. The lack of confidence and pressure can affect the players and the coaching staff.
What's next?
River Plate must find a solution to its crisis to avoid the losing streak becoming a catastrophe. The team needs to work on its game and find a way to recover the confidence of its players.
As of August 9, 2026, River Plate is in 6th place in the Liga Profesional Argentina, with 20 goals scored and 15 conceded (+5 goal difference). The losing streak is a serious problem for the team, which is already 9 points behind the leaders Rosario Central.
