How to watch Mexico vs. River Plate: International Friendly

After a win over Internacional last week, Mexico visited River Plate at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to put an end to their adventure in South America. It will be their last match before March’s Concacaf Nations League semi-final against Canada.

El Tri produced an impressive performance at the Arena Beira-Rio, defeating Inter 2-0. With a number of debutants and a lineup constructed mainly of players who had never played together, Mexico looked good, growing into the game and capitalizing on their opportunities in front of goal. Many doubted and even criticized the roster and the overall expedition to South America, but the victory in Brazil silenced many of the critics.

River Plate kick off their 2025 league season this coming weekend, with the match against Mexico serving as the final tune-up game of the year for Marcelo Gallardo’s side, a year in which he hopes to capture the Copa Libertadores for a third time as coach of Los Millonarios. Players of European pedigree and World Cup champions such as Manuel Lanzini, Germán Pezzella and Gonzalo Montiel look set to feature from the start.

It will be the second time in history that El Tri meets River Plate. The two met in a friendly nearly 75 years ago when River was making a preseason tour of Mexico. On February 19, 1950, Mexico defeated the Argentine club 2-0 at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in Mexico City.
