Independiente Rivadavia made history on Wednesday by securing their qualification for the Copa Libertadores knockout stage after a 1-1 draw with Fluminense in Mendoza during the fourth round of Group C. This is a milestone for the club, as it is their first participation in the continental tournament, and they have managed to accumulate 10 points, remaining at the top of their group. The match started with Independiente Rivadavia determined to maintain their perfect run, creating danger from the outset with several chances, including a header from Alex Arce that hit the crossbar. Fluminense, on the other hand, struggled to create opportunities and only threatened with a wayward attempt from Agustín Canobbio. In the second half, the Mendoza team regained control of the game and found the lead in the 66th minute when Alex Arce scored with a precise header, putting the score at 1-0 in favor of the Lepra. However, Fluminense managed to salvage a draw in the 90th minute when John Kennedy took advantage of a loose ball in the area, and his shot, deflected by Leonard Costa, got past goalkeeper Nicolás Blocato. This result leaves Fluminense in a complicated situation, forcing them to win their two remaining matches to keep their qualification hopes alive.
