River Plate's 1-1 draw against Independiente: Armani was the star again and saved his team in a very weak derby.

River Plate's 1-1 draw against Independiente: Armani was the star again and saved his team in a very weak derby.

River Plate moved back a goal in their visit to the Libertadores de América stadium. They ended up getting the better of it with a 0-0 draw against Independiente . And it was all thanks to another great performance from Franco Armani , whose reflexes were key in saving his own goal and Marcelo Gallardo's team.

Lautaro Rivero , brought back from Central Córdoba, had a very good performance. On the other side, the experienced Germán Pezzella —who was injured—and Enzo Pérez were the weakest points for Millonario.

Below is Clarín 's report card:

Franco Armani (7)

He was the star of the night. He saved a very weak River Plate with his reflexes. Excellent performance from El Pulpo.

Gonzalo Montiel (5)

An irregular match for the world champion, who was not clear with his projections.

German Pezzella (4)

He'd played a very poor game up until his knee injury. We'll have to wait to hear the diagnosis, but it doesn't look good.

Lautaro Rivero (7)

A pleasant surprise. He proved Gallardo right, having brought him back from Central Córdoba. He played a great game. River Plate's management will look for a way to make room for him on the roster for the Libertadores.

Marcos Acuña (5)

Another one who contributed little to nothing offensively, as usual. He had no major problems defensively.

Kevin Castaño (5)

The Colombian looked like a go-getter, but his passing wasn't perfect.

Enzo Pérez (4)

The Mendoza native had a very poor game, barely playing for long. He lost almost every time to Cabral.

Matías Galarza Fonda (5)

He hinted more than he actually did. He had the clearest chance of the afternoon for El Millonario at his feet, but he finished weakly into Rey's hands.

Santiago Lencina (4)

The match weighed heavily on the youngster, who looked much worse than his recent performances.

Miguel Borja (5)

The Colombian barely played a role in the game. The ball rarely reached him. He scored but was several meters offside.

Facundo Colidio (5)

A weak performance from one of River's best players this semester. He barely got involved and didn't make any difference.

Sebastián Boselli (5)

The Uruguayan came on for Pezzella and didn't have a great night because he wasn't sure about his marking and made a few misses.

Juan Fernando Quintero (5)

He came on in the second half and contributed little to nothing. He seemed slow, lacking spark and a lack of clarity to break the game with his punch and intelligence.

Giuliano Galoppo (6)

The former Banfield player brought some dynamism to the midfield and was a key player in Millonario's few good combinations in the closing stages.

Juan Meza (-)

He came on in the final minutes and was not rated.

Gonzalo Martínez (-)

He came on in the final minutes and was not rated.
