River Plate won the first semifinal of the South American Cup

River Plate, with a good tactical game, generated a good amount of play and was only the Ecuadorian team, Liga de Quito. The Uruguayan team started winning after the goal done by Richard Porta.

Ecuadorians tie the only time in which they reached the bow of Dos Santos. But River did not change its game and the winning goal was on the feet of Cordoba.

Now we have to go to Quito, Ecuador where they become stronger, with an own goal, but knowing that win or tie, River goes to the final of the South American Cup.
