River Plate is a traditional football team of Argentina. They are considered to be far stronger than Urawa.
According to Transfermarkt, River Plate's squad has a total value of 114 million euros, ranking 17th out of 32 teams participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Urawa ranks 28th out of 32 teams with a value of only 20.5 million euros.
Notably, River Plate possesses a squad of experienced Argentine players who have contributed greatly to bringing the national team to the World Cup championship.
Names include goalkeeper Armani, center-back Pezzella, and two full-backs Acuna and Montiel. Except for Armani, who was only on the bench at the 2022 World Cup, the other three names all contributed to Messi's victory in the World Cup.
Against Urawa, these defenders all played very solidly. Acuna alone shone when he assisted the opening goal and the third goal for River Plate. The scorers for these goals were Colidio and Meza. The second goal was scored by Druissi.
Urawa had moments of resistance, when Matsuo scored to reduce the score to 1-2 in the 58th minute. But in the end, the Japanese representative could not withstand the overwhelming pressure of the opponent from Argentina.
However, the bad news for River Plate is that Acuna suffered a serious injury and had to leave the field at the end of the match. The 33-year-old defender has played 61 times for the national team, he won a penalty for Messi in the win over the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup.
This victory helped River Plate have a perfect start in Group E. In addition to Urawa, this group also includes Inter Milan and Monterrey - a team from Mexico.
