The ‘charrúa’ team was effective with a frantic half hour in which two goals from Matías Arezo arrived, then Jefferson Duque discounted.
In the complementary stage, the purslane improved in their game, but Sebastián Píriz sentenced the key and now the ‘darner’ is waiting for Sol de América from Paraguay or Universidad Católica de Chile.
Quickly, River Plate from Uruguay generated two goal options, at 30 seconds, a heads-up from Matías Arezo that demanded Aldair Quintana, then José Neris finished on goal and Quintana intervened safely again.
At minute 5, River from Uruguay took the lead on the scoreboard, after a cross by Facundo Ospitaleche from the left sector to the heart of the area, the ball was not controlled by Aldair Quintana and Sebastián Gómez taking advantage of Matías Arezo, who finished off with his leg left, sending the ball to the back of the net.

The local did not let Nacional think who was suffering in defense and was disconnected with his attack front. At minute 14, Ribair Rodríguez had to leave the field after suffering a collision with Sebastián Gómez. He joined the former Boca Juniors, the player Guzmán Rodríguez.
Nacional was gradually regaining control of the ball, he got a little closer to the opposite goal. But at minute 26, River increased the lead with a goal by Matías Arezzo in a personal move, after taking advantage of a bad pass from Brayan Rovira, the Uruguayan striker finished off with a right leg without being able to control goalkeeper Quintana.
After the disadvantage in the result, Nacional began to internalize and at minute 33, Baldomero Perlaza took advantage of a rebound from River’s defense and the ball was left to Jefferson Duque, who discounted for the purslane team, with a right leg shot to the post left of goalkeeper Gastón Olveira.
The spirits were heating up, the strong game in Nacional generated two cautions in the team before the end of the first half. In the complementary stage, the visit advanced their lines and tried to be a short team, attacking as a block. At minute 3, a deep pass from Baldomero Perlaza, left the ball to Andrés Andrade who with his right leg did not take advantage of the counterattack. The shot was deflected.

About minute 9, Brayan Córdoba ended up beaten and the technician in charge Pompilio Páez decided to enter Ewil Murillo, who had his debut with the purslane team. The visiting team pressed in the opposite field, while River lowered the revolutions to the game. At minute 43, Yerson Candelo with a shot from medium distance demanded the goalkeeper Olveira.
At minute 44, a corner kick taken by Matías Alonso from the right sector, the center remained in the heart of the area for Sebastián Píriz, who with his right leg scored the third that sentenced the classification for the Uruguayan team.
In the end, Nacional says goodbye to the South American Cup leaving many unknowns against a very orderly River that was effective and as a prize it goes to the next phase, to be measured with the winner of the series between Sol de América from Paraguay against Universidad Católica de Chile .
