Racing and River Clash in Copa Argentina Quarterfinals

Rosario, Argentina – Racing Club and River Plate face off in a high-stakes quarterfinal match of the Copa Argentina 2025 on Thursday, October 2, at the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito. The winner will advance to the semifinals, where Independiente Rivadavia awaits.

This will be a classic rivalry that has seen both teams achieve significant success over the years. River Plate, led by coach Marcelo Gallardo, comes into the match needing a turnaround. They have suffered four consecutive losses, including a disappointing exit in the Copa Libertadores against Palmeiras. Goalkeeper Franco Armani and players Juan Fernando Quintero and Maximiliano Salas are key figures for River as they seek to reclaim their form.

On the other side, Racing Club, under the guidance of Gustavo Costas, is enjoying a positive run, having gone five matches without defeat, including four wins and a recent draw against Independiente. Racing’s attack, spearheaded by Adrián ‘Maravilla’ Martínez, looks to break their dry spell against River, having won only once in their last 12 encounters.

The pressure is on both teams. River’s fans expect them to perform better after a disappointing campaign, while Racing aims to keep their momentum and build on their success in the Libertadores.

The match will be available for viewers in the United States through various networks, while fans in Argentina can catch it on TyC Sports and other streaming services.
