From the streets of Seattle, where football passion transcends borders and the city’s cool climate mixes with the thrill of global competition, River made a bold statement—setting the tone early and leaving a mark on the Emerald City.

The Formula? High-flying football, top-tier intelligence in every pass, headers that look choreographed, and a mindset that refuses to back down against any opponent. Seattle’s football scene is more alive than ever, and River, with its signature of greatness, is positioning itself as a top contender right from the jump.

The Opening Play: River, a team with strategy in their DNA and on the pitch

Right from the whistle, River showed they weren’t just there to participate. At 11 minutes, they struck first—sending a clear message: the early bird catches the worm. Facundo Colidio’s precise header off a Gonzalo Montiel cross put them ahead and sent a warning shot to the Japanese defense.

Urawa responded quickly, but River’s defensive resilience and Franco Armani’s critical save in the 85th minute kept the lead intact and sealed the deal.

Hard Numbers & Stats:

• In the first half, River controlled possession at 65%, with 7 shots on goal—dominating rhythm and flow.

• Their game plan was sharp: exploit spaces, press high, and play intelligently in crucial moments.

• Passing accuracy? A slick 620 completed passes versus only 220 from Urawa.

• Discipline was on point: just one yellow card, with the team managing aggression with tactical intelligence.

Second Half: Solidifying the Game Plan & Managing the Lead

In the second stanza, River maintained their composure—calm, patient, and purposeful. They knew how to manage the advantage, waiting for the right moments to strike. The substitution of Miguel Borja for the injured Driussi—another coaching masterstroke—proved pivotal.

At 73 minutes, the third goal arrived—an absolute beauty. A pinpoint cross from Acuña found Maxi Meza, who headed it with surgical precision, confirming who was boss on the field. River’s strategy translated into a result that reflects not only technical quality but also a champion’s mentality.
