River Plate, under the management of Chacho Coudet, had been experiencing a difficult start to the season. The team had lost their first four matches, including a 0-1 defeat to Barracas Central, Central in La Plata, and Central in Núñez, as well as a 0-1 loss to Tigre. The team's goalless streak had reached 399 minutes, which was a record for the club, as the last time they had such a long goalless streak was in the 2010 Clausura tournament, with a 534-minute drought under Leonardo Astrada's coaching.
