The 19-year-old Agustín Obregón, brother of Braian Romero, made his debut for River Plate in the 0-0 draw against Vélez in the final match of the Torneo Clausura. He entered the field at the 21st minute of the first half, replacing the injured Fabricio Bustos. Marcelo Gallardo chose not to call up Paulo Díaz and Miguel Borja for this match.
In the final round of the Torneo Clausura, River Plate drew 0-0 with Vélez Sarsfield, a result that leaves the team relying on other matches to qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores. The match, played on November 16, 2025, featured the debut of versatile 19-year-old Agustín Obregón, who came on from the bench at the 21st minute of the first half. His entry was prompted by an injury to Fabricio Bustos, the usual right-back for the squad.
Obregón, brother of the well-known footballer Braian Romero, demonstrated versatility on the field during his first official appearance with River's first team. This debut comes at a crucial time for El Millonario, which is aiming to secure its spot in South America's premier club competition.
Additionally, coach Marcelo Gallardo, known as El Muñeco, opted not to include two experienced players in the squad: defender Paulo Díaz and forward Miguel Borja. Gallardo explained this absence briefly, in four words, emphasizing it as a strategic decision for the end of the regular phase. Despite the draw, the team showed defensive solidity, though it failed to convert attacking chances.
River now awaits the outcomes of its direct rivals to determine its future in the 2026 Libertadores.
