The match ended 2-2 with goals from Alfredo Di Stéfano & Ángel Labruna. River Plate were given a set of Torino shirts which they used as their away kit for a number of years. River still occasionally have burgundy colours in kits in homage to the Torino-River amistad

🇦🇷 A new study by @CIHFHistoria has determined that River Plate legend Ángel Labruna is actually the overall top goalscorer in Argentina’s top division (historically), and not Independiente’s Paraguayan striker Arsenio Erico, as has been thought for decades!

295 goals vs 293
