<p>El Cardenal head to this duel <strong>after an embarrassing defeat at the hands of a covid-hitRiver Plate</strong>, who humiliated <strong>Harold Rivera</strong>‘s boys by grabbing the victory <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/river-plate-beat-santa-fe-with-an-outfield-player-in-goal-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20210519-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">despite having defensive midfield <strong>Enzo Pérez</strong> in goal and no substitutes</a>.

<h2>Independiente Santa Fe vs Junior: Storylines</h2>
<p>Independiente Santa Fe will close a <strong>disappointing participation in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/copa-libertadores-2021-how-to-watch-schedule-format-fixtures-groups--20210418-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Copa Libertadores 2021</a></strong> with no chances of at least fighting for a <strong>Sudamericana</strong> spot. Harold Rivera’s side was <strong>shocked by a weakened River Plate last Wednesday</strong> and were left with nothing to play for in the upcoming duel, except for tryingto ruin their rivals’ aspirations in this tournament.</p>
<p>Junior de Barranquilla remain alive in the group thanks to <strong>a huge triumph over Fluminense in Brazil</strong> against all odds. <strong>Los Tiburones might progress to the next round</strong> if they beat Santa Fe and Flu don’t defeat River.</p>
<p>They’ve had ups and downs in their continental path so far, but they still have one remaining shot to push for a place in the last 16. <strong>Due to the social unrest in Colombia, this game will be played in Ecuador</strong>.</p>

It was the first time thatEl Millonario fielded <strong>an outfield player as their goalkeeper</strong>.</p>
<p>Last weekend, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/a-sudden-outbreak-of-covid-threatens-river-plate-s-chances-of-fielding-eleven-players-against-santa-fe-20210517-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a covid outbreak struck <strong>Marcelo Gallardo</strong>‘s side</a> just hours before the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/eight-famous-players-who-wore-both-boca-and-river-jerseys-20210311-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Superclásico</strong></a> clash against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boca-juniors-t19537" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Boca Juniors</strong></a> in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-de-la-liga-profesional-t147538" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Argentine Copa de la Liga Profesional</strong></a>. Not only they’ve lost the derby, butfive more players tested positive after that game, <strong>ruling out 20 players for the continental matchup</strong>.</p>
<p>With those absences, River were suddenlyleft <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/river-plate-and-santa-fe-s-probable-lineups-amid-covid-outbreak-20210518-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withroughly<strong>eleven eligible players</strong></a> to host Santa Fe.

<h2>River Plate shockSanta Fe whilehaving an outfield player in goal</h2>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soccer </a>fans were ready to watch the game hoping tolaugh at <strong>Pérez dressed as a goalkeeper and eager to see how the hosts dealt with such an awkward lineup</strong>. However, <strong>everyone wasshocked as River Plate had a strong startand scored twice </strong>only six minutes into the game.</p>
<p>What’s worst, the Colombian team has nevertaken advantage of El Millonario’s hardships and Enzo Pérez spent a quiet game without having to make any big effort. Just thescenesof him wearing the gloves andstanding in the goal were hilarious enough, let alonewatching <strong>how comfortable he seemedagainst a non-threatening opponent</strong>.

River Plate beat Santa Fe with an outfield player in goal: Funniest memes and reactions - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-libertadores-t28" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Copa Libertadores 2021</strong></a> will bring us a controversialgame between <strong>River Plate</strong> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/independiente-santa-fe-t150" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Independiente Santa Fe</strong></a>today, as the Argentine side has been struck by a sudden Covid outbreak in its squad. Without a full lineup, El Millonario will try to seal their place in the next round at <strong>Estadio Monumental</strong>, fielding experienced midfielder<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/river-plate-and-santa-fe-s-probable-lineups-amid-covid-outbreak-20210518-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enzo Pérez as the team’s goalkeeper</a></strong>. Here, take a look at the match information, storylines, predictions, odds, and how to watch it in the US.</p>
<p><strong>Marcelo Gallardo</strong>‘s side has been suddenly hit with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/a-sudden-outbreak-of-covid-threatens-river-plate-s-chances-of-fielding-eleven-players-against-santa-fe-20210517-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a massive number of infected players in the past days</a>.

<p>Meanwhile, Independiente Santa Fe might be having <strong>an unexpected opportunity to grab a victory in Buenos Aires</strong> to keep on hoping with a spot in the Round of 16. <strong>Harold Rivera</strong>‘s boys haven’t won so far, and their future in the competition is at serious risk. <strong>Will they take advantage of the extra player and pick up the three points?</strong></p>

<h2>River Plate vs Independiente Santa Fe: Storylines</h2>
<p>River Plate head to one of the strangestmatches in their history. Dealing with 20 players who were infected by Covid, their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/copa-libertadores-2021-how-to-watch-schedule-format-fixtures-groups--20210418-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Libertadores</a> squad hasbeen reduced to just 12 players from which <strong>only ten are eligible for this game</strong>. What’s worst, <strong>all their three goalkeepers are currently isolated</strong>.</p>
<p>Marcelo Gallardo could have submitted 50 players instead of 32 before the competition began, but he decided to name only the ones who he usually trained as he wouldn’t be willing to play inexperienced youngsters no matter the circumstances. Well, <strong>the worst possible scenario has come and River’s request to add two emergency goalkeepers was denied, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/river-plate-and-santa-fe-s-probable-lineups-amid-covid-outbreak-20210518-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so an outfield player will have to perform as a goalkeeper</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Besides, <strong>they’ll go out to the field with only ten players</strong>. Needless to say, it will be one of the mostawkwardnights in the tournament’s history. Independiente Santa Fe have also reported three players who tested positive, but <strong>they are in much better conditions as they have an entire lineup and even substitutes</strong>. Things don’t look any good for River.</p>

River Plate vs Independiente Santa Fe: Preview, predictions, odds and how to watch Copa Libertadores 2021 in the US today

River Plate vs Independiente Santa Fe: Preview, predictions, odds and how to watch Copa Libertadores 2021 in the US today - Bolavip US

<p><strong>River Plate</strong> will finally have to face <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/independiente-santa-fe-t150" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Independiente Santa Fe</strong></a> in Matchday 5 of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-libertadores-t28" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Copa Libertadores 2021</strong></a> despite their chaotic situation with <strong>up to 20 players infected by Covid-19</strong>. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/conmebol-t19724" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Conmebol</strong></a>‘s rules state that unless a team can’t show up with at least seven players, it has to take part in the game. <strong>Otherwise, it loses the points and faces severe punishments</strong>.</p>
<p>With no other choice but to play the game, <strong>El Millonario head into one of the strangest games</strong> in their history. Of the 32 names submitted for this competition, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/a-sudden-outbreak-of-covid-threatens-river-plate-s-chances-of-fielding-eleven-players-against-santa-fe-20210517-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>only eleven will beeligible</strong></a> for tonight’s clash. What’s worst, <strong>Marcelo Gallardo</strong> can’t count with an outright goalkeeper for this game as the threeregistered in the listhave tested positive.</p>
<p>After the South American soccer’s governing body turned down River’s request to add reserve keepers <strong>Leo Díaz</strong> and <strong>Agustín Gómez</strong>, <strong>an outfield player will have to put on the gloves</strong>. Under that worrying and even awkward scenario, the Argentines will host the Colombians, who also have threeplayers infected.</p>

<h2>River Plate’sstrange lineup against Santa Fe</h2>
<p><strong>The pandemic has struckRiver Plate just hours before</strong> their decisive duel against archrivals <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boca-juniors-t19537" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Boca Juniors</strong></a> last weekend. Only a few days after that problematic game, coronavirus hit even harder as five more players have tested positive.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Gallardo’s decision of naming just 32 players for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/copa-libertadores-2021-how-to-watch-schedule-format-fixtures-groups--20210418-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Libertadores</a>, instead of using the 50 slots the Conmebol has allowed to prevent these kindsof episodes, turned out badly as the three goalies were infected at the same time. <strong>The club requested the addition of Leo Díaz</strong>, who impressed in his debut against Boca, <strong>and Agustín Gómez</strong> to at least havingtwo players that are used to that position, <strong>but it was denied</strong>.</p>
<p>Under such a difficult atmosphere, <strong>River’s boss has reportedly considered four options to replace Franco Armani</strong>. <strong>Milton Casco</strong> (left-back), <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/eight-famous-players-who-wore-both-boca-and-river-jerseys-20210311-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jonatan Maidana</strong></a> (center-back), <strong>Tomás Lecanda</strong> (center-back), or<strong>Enzo Pérez</strong>(defensive midfield)were in the coach’s mind to start as the team’s goalkeeper in one of the most unusual matches ever.</p>

Fluminense host Independiente Santa Fe today at the Maracana Stadium in a Copa Libertadores rematch

<p><strong>Independiente Santa Fe</strong> and <strong>River Plate</strong>finally face off in Matchday 3 of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-libertadores-t28" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Copa Libertadores</a> 2021</strong> today. The game was at risk of being indefinitely postponed due to the chaotic situation in Colombia, but the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/conmebol-t19724" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CONMEBOL</a> </strong>decided to relocate it to <strong>Paraguay</strong>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/atletico-nacional-vs-argentinos-juniors-predictions-odds-and-how-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-in-the-us-conmebol-copa-libertadores-2021-at-estadio-manuel-ferreira-in-paraguay-watch-here-20210505-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just like <strong>Atletico Nacional</strong>‘s duel with <strong>Argentinos Juniors</strong></a>. Here, take a look at the match information, storylines, predictions, odds, and even how to watch it in the US.</p>
<p><em>El Cardenal</em> will have to face thisgame under difficult circumstances. They had to leave home as the country is living turbulent days and the social tension rose heavily. Besides, <strong>Harold Rivera Roa’s side suffered a huge blow in the domestic league</strong> last weekend.</p>
<p><em>El Millonario</em>, however, are not arriving at this game in the best form either. River suddenly had to leave Colombia as the game was moved and even though they began their continental campaign correctly, <strong>Marcelo Gallardo’s boys have been struggling in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-de-la-liga-profesional-t147538" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentine Copa de la Liga Profesional</a></strong>. Will they recover their best formin South America’s greatest tournament?</p>

<h2>Independiente Santa Fe vs River Plate: Storylines</h2>
<p>Independiente Santa Fe are<strong> under pressure to overcome an extremelydifficult situation</strong>. Not only they would need to recover after a weak start to the continental contest’s group stage, but <em>El Leon</em> were upset in the domestic tournament as well.</p>
<p><strong>Rivera Roa’s team was knocked out inthe Apertura quarterfinals</strong> by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/junior-de-barranquilla-t48586" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Junior</a>. Besides, the club is also shaken by all the riots and conflicts going on in its country. After losing against <strong>Fluminense</strong> last week, Santa Fe will seek recovery against arguably the strongest side in Group F.</p>
<p><strong>River Plate earned a much-needed win over Junior</strong> last week at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/copa-america-2021-when-does-it-start-kickoff-date-and-time-20210429-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Estadio Monumental</strong></a>, but while they began their<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/copa-libertadores-2021-how-to-watch-schedule-format-fixtures-groups--20210418-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Copa Libertadores 2021</a> journey decently, <em>El Millonario</em> left fans concerned in the last rounds of the local competition. Gallardo’s team was beaten in the last two rounds, and it is barely inside the top four of Group Awith one game left. <strong>Winning this upcoming clash may give them a boost</strong> to recover in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/argentine-league-t149762" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentine League</a> and to strengthenthemselves in their pursuit of South American glory.</p>
