The 2025 Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League began with Platense achieving a partial victory over River Plate, all thanks to an unexpected error by Franco Armani. The River goalkeeper, recognized as a regular figure of the team, made a blunder 12 minutes into the first half. After a header from Ignacio Vázquez, Armani could not control the ball and while attempting to clear it, he ended up putting it into his own net.
The partial result favors Platense 1-0, surprising a River Plate team led by Martín Demichelis, who is considered the main title contender. Among River's starters is Germán Pezzella from Bahía, who now faces the challenge of overturning the score to avoid a tournament start with an unexpected loss.
