Forward Sebastián Driussi generated excitement among fans by debuting in a match played by River Plate, where coach Marcelo Gallardo decided to send him onto the field in place of Facundo Colidio at the 17th minute of the second half. Driussi, who was making his re-debut after a period without playing since October, stood out for his ability to associate in the game, mobility, and pressure on the opponent's exit, factors that influenced Gallardo's decision to give him minutes on the field.
Driussi's call-up for that match against Instituto was much talked about among River fans, who were eager to see the forward become part of the starting team, although he ultimately entered during the second half. Despite not starting from the beginning, Driussi managed to connect on the field with Matías Rojas, also a new signing for the team.
Sebastián Driussi, wearing the number 15 jersey, returned to River Plate after his time at Zenit Saint Petersburg and Austin. The transfer was finalized for 10 million dollars, thus becoming one of the most expensive purchases in River's history, only surpassed by Lucas Pratto. Driussi's return was facilitated not only by Gallardo's desire but also by the management of his representative, Hernán Berman.
After seven and a half years away, Driussi returned to wear the River jersey, being part of a team with various attacking options. Despite the difficulties, such as adapting to returning to the club, the forward managed to stand out in his re-debut, contributing to the team securing victory with a goal from Gonzalo Montiel in the final minutes of the second half. Confident in the player's abilities, Gallardo requested his return given his previous performance at River and his training in the club's youth system.
