Post-match statements:
Bautista Arrom, River Plate player:
“Undoubtedly we were looking for the three points, to fight higher up, but we played a first half with a much lower intensity than the second and it shows in the results.
We scored nine goals in the second half, which shows that we weren’t intense enough in the first half. The feeling we go to the locker room with is not what we deserved”.
