Summary
River Plate just hit the start with a weak shot from Santiago Simón from outside the penalty area that opened the score, making goalkeeper Facundo Cambeses' apparently late stretch in vain. But Banfield was not deterred by that bad start and went after the tie, which was close to achieve with repeated attacks that were successively failed by forward Andrés Chávez and Sebastián Sosa Sánchez, in addition to some successful interventions by River Plate goalkeeper Franco Armani and a free kick by Brahian Alemán that failed to score. But when Banfield were close to the tie, with 2 minutes remaining for the end of the first half, Santiago Simón scored the second goal for River Plate.El Millonario se impuso ante Banfield por 3-2 y enfrentará a Boca en la final at eldia.com. 22 Feb 2023
The second half saw Banfield once again in a determined attack attitude against a River that was always fragile in their deffensive line, especially in the cases of central backs Enzo Díaz and Jonatan Maidana.
A shot by Chávez hit the goalpost, but then he succeed to score the first goal for Banfield. Three minutes later Chávez scored again, but the goal was annulled by referee Facundo Tello after assistant referee Ezequiel Brailovsky raised his flag. According to the media, Chávez was not in offside position and the goal should have been validated.
Colombian striker Miguel Borja scored the 3rd goal for River Plate in the 64th minute, but Banfield continued pushing and in the 93rd minute the team managed by Javier Sanguinetti scored their 2nd goal for the definitive 3–2.
