River Plate, which debuted with a loss, thrashed Patronato 4-1and with three integers provisionally rose to second position, now three behind the leader Argentinos Juniors.

Marcelo Gallardo’s men prevailed at the Monumental stadium with a hat-trick by Julián Álvarez that catapulted him to the top of the scorers’ table.

The exhibition was completed by the Colombian creative Juan Fernando Quintero, who has returned to the institution this season, changing a penalty for a goal. Patronato went ahead early, after a cross from midfielder Gabriel Gudiño that deflected past River defender Paulo Díaz and ended up slipping past the goalkeeper.
