🟣 The start of the Clausura for the Mendoza-based team was disappointing: Independiente fell 1-2 at home to Newell's Old Boys. Despite their attacking efforts and a first-half goal, their defense faltered in the second half, conceding twice and failing to salvage even a draw. Additionally, Mauro Cardillo was sent off in the 78th minute. This result mirrors the trend from the end of the Apertura, where the team played with flair but inconsistently, particularly in defense. On the road, Rivadavia's record isn't much more reliable: victories alternate with defeats, and they concede at least one goal in almost every match.
