With temperatures in Buenos Aires comfortably above 30°C, the dressing room assigned to the Xeneize in River's Monumental Stadium mysteriously saw the air conditioning malfunction hours before kick-off.

The Hotel Madero, which had housed the team ahead of the Superclasico, were asked to pitch in with two fans to try and keep the heat down.
