Belgrano stunned River Plate by winning the Argentine Championship Apertura 3-2 at the Mario Kempes Stadium, marking their first top-flight title in 121 years. Despite River leading twice through Colidio and Galván, Belgrano’s Nicolás Fernandez equalized and scored the winner late in the game. This victory not only avenged River’s relegation in 2011 but also secured Belgrano a spot in the 2027 Copa Libertadores group stage. Coach Coudet was sent off in the aftermath of the dramatic match.
