Estudiantes de La Plata secured a 3-2 victory over Independiente Rivadavia on Thursday, clinching the 2025 Supercopa Argentina ahead of their Copa Libertadores final clash. The match concluded in extra time after a 2-2 draw in regular time at Córdoba's stadium. Lucas Alario's goal six minutes into extra time proved decisive for Estudiantes, capitalizing on goals from Guido Carrillo and an own goal by Iván Villalba.
Rivadavia fought back with two late goals from José Florentín and Villalba, but Estudiantes emerged victorious, marking their first Supercopa Argentina title and 20th in their storied history. This triumph, under the guidance of Uruguayan coach Alexander Medina, follows a string of six trophies in three years for the La Plata club.
The team will now shift focus to the Copa Libertadores final, set for Saturday, November 28, at Montevideo's Estadio Centenario, where they will face Palmeiras. Captain Carrillo, celebrating his sixth title with the club, emphasized his team's character and deserved win. Estudiantes qualified for the Supercopa following their Champions Trophy victory last year, while Rivadavia reached the final as winners of the 2025 Copa Argentina.
