Buenos Aires, April 4 (NA) – River Plate will play this Sunday, April 5, at 6:00 PM against Belgrano at the Monumental stadium for matchday 13 of the Apertura tournament. The pitch is visibly affected by the AC/DC concerts from last weekend and by a maintenance process that the club decided to bring forward on the grass. In Núñez, they acknowledge that the ground will not be in its best version for the match against the Córdoba team, although they maintain that the surface remains level and the ball will roll without problems. According to the Argentine News Agency, the institution took advantage of the FIFA date break and the holding of three shows by the Australian band to advance tasks that are usually carried out between April and May. In addition, the pitch is in transition to its winter version, with the incorporation of perennial ryegrass, a process that, according to the information disseminated, also influenced the current appearance of the turf. At River, however, they are optimistic and believe that there will be enough time for its recovery, as after the match against Belgrano the team will have 10 days without playing at home.
