River Plate: Four Months Without Goals from Forwards

River Plate players have failed to score goals for four months. The last to find the net was Colombian Miguel Borja, who has since left the club. The issue of forwards not scoring is becoming increasingly apparent.


River Plate: Four Months Without Goals from Forwards

Buenos Aires, February 13 (NA) – River Plate is grappling with a recurring problem since October 2025: the lack of goals from its forwards. Interestingly, the last one to score was Colombian Miguel Borja, who is no longer at the club. Borja, now a player for Al-Wasl in the United Arab Emirates where he has scored three goals since his arrival, was the last forward to score for River, according to the Argentine News Agency. In the 2-1 defeat against Rosario Central in the 2025 Clausura tournament on October 5, it was the last time the Colombian and a 'Millionaire' forward scored, meaning it has now been four months without goals from those who, theoretically and logically, should be scoring them. However, the statistics are starting to weigh heavily. Facundo Colidio has not scored an official goal since July 21, 2025, and has gone 21 matches without finding the net. In the case of Maximiliano Salas, his last goal was on October 2, 2025, against Racing in the Argentine Cup, which gives him a streak of 10 matches without celebrating. Sebastián Driussi, for his part, has not scored since August 21, 2025, when he scored against Libertad of Paraguay in the Copa Libertadores, and he has gone 13 matches without converting.
