River Plate, one of Argentina’s most famous football clubs, has been forced into a two-game playoff to stay in the first division following a 2-1 loss against Lanus on Saturday.

River Plate face the real possibility of being relegated to the second division for the first time.

The Buenos Aires club won the first division 33 times, 10 more than No.2 Boca Juniors.

Five matches were played simultaneously on Saturday in the final round of the Clausura, all involving clubs in the relegation fight.
