But River lacked incisiveness in attack, forcing goalkeeper Manuel Roffo to make only four saves from 23 total attempts on goal.

The result ensures River finish second in the 14-team Group A with 24 points from 14 outings, two points behind leaders Huracan.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Huracan won 2-0 at Atletico Tucuman, Talleres Cordoba edged to a 3-2 win over Independiente, and Rosario Central prevailed 2-1 at Arsenal Sarandi.
