The Argentine club beat the Urawa Red Diamonds 3-1 in the Club World Cup at Lumen Field. Driussi’s goal three minutes into the second half had made it 2-0, but he collided with goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa and fell to the ground in pain, grabbing his ankle. He limped off the field with assistance and was replaced by Miguel Borja.
Yusuke Matsuo converted a penalty for the Japanese club in the 58th minute. Takuro Kaneko drew the foul and yellow card on Acuña. The kick was delayed by pushing and shoving at the penalty box’s edge, resulting in a yellow for German Pezzella.
Colidio had scored in the 12th minute on a header off a cross from Acuña, and later on Meza restored River Plate’s two-goal advantage in the 73rd minute off Acuña’s corner kick service.
