As half the half hour approached, Real Madrid-bound Franco Mastantuono registered the first shot of the river on Doel, a free kick over the wall for Esteban Andrarada to beat danger.
As it proved, River's best moment of half arrived in a stopping time when Lucas Martínez Quarta closed a gilded chance, sent his shot wide after he was locked on a loose ball from a corner, so that a tense match was nourished when the referee blew the half -time bike.

The Mexican side made a slow start when the action resumed, and was lucky not to find out when Anrada raced a lofted cross just before the hour, as a result of which Gerardo Arteaga had to produce a final handle statement after Giuliano Galoppo had distributed the ball.
The keeper of Monterrey went a way to make up his moment of panic immediately when he responded well to Mastantuono's curly left-foot shot from the box.

When the game entered the last 15 minutes, the Argentinian side continued their search to find a winner who would seal a last 16 place, while replacement Miguel Borja tried twice and failed to get the better from Andra.
River was eventually left frustrated, especially since Kevin Castano received his second yellow in the stopping time for a cynical error, which effectively ended the late hope of finding a winner.
The charges of Marcelo Gallardo have moved in Inter on goal balance at the top, but are now confronted with an almighty test against the UEFA Champions League finalists, while Monterrey will try to cancel a two-point gap to the top two in their last group match against Urawa Red Diamonds.
