River Plate vs Rentistas

River Plate and Rentistas played out a goalless draw at Parque Saroldi in fecha 16 of the Segunda División, a cagey afternoon that never delivered a clear breakthrough. Both defenses held firm from start to finish, leaving neither side with much to celebrate. Referee Jonathan De León, assisted by Gustavo Márquez Lisboa and Franco Mieres, had a quiet job of it: there were no goals, no red cards, and no real flashpoints to speak of. The closest thing to drama was the tension of a scoreless game staying that way until the final whistle. The point leaves River Plate and Rentistas level on 29 points apiece, tied in the middle of the regular-phase table. Neither will be satisfied with a draw, especially with leaders Plaza Colonia already out front on 36 points, but it keeps both within reach of the top positions as the season progresses.
