In the first minutes of the match, Flamengo created some approaches to the River Plate goal, but Sebastián Driussi was attentive to the rival's exit and took advantage of a mistake to score the 1-0: he finished low as Agustín Rossi came out and put the Millionaires ahead.
Then, Santiago Beltrán started to be decisive: first he stopped a long-range shot that had previously been deflected, and then he reacted purely on reflexes to block a clear chance from Pedro, who struck a left-footed volley on the turn and the youngster responded low to his right post. Meanwhile, River had another chance with a long-range shot from Marcos Acuña.
Around the 30th minute, the Brazilian team equalized the match with a right-footed shot from Lino from the edge of the penalty arc and then went 2-1 ahead with a finish from Bruno Henrique. The Millionaires reacted and leveled with another goal from Driussi, assisted by Giovanni González from the right. In the second half, both teams created chances and made several changes from the bench, but the score didn't move, and the friendly in Portugal ended 2-2.
