River Plate has been eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana after losing a penalty shootout to Independiente Santa Fe. Despite missing his penalty, goalkeeper Santiago Beltrán was cheered by fans and has become a leading figure for the team at just 21 years old, according to Clarín.

After the match, Coudet met for nearly two hours with part of the management at the Estadio Monumental. The meeting took place in a tense atmosphere due to the significant defeat and was followed by his departure from the stadium around 2:30 AM, as reported by Infobae.

The situation for coach Eduardo Coudet is uncertain following the team's elimination. The training scheduled for Thursday afternoon at the same venue could be decisive in determining his future, according to sources from Clarín and Infobae.

Locker room dynamics are becoming crucial, as Beltrán, despite his miss, defended the coach, which could influence the management's decision regarding Coudet's future. However, details of these discussions have not yet been fully disclosed.

The atmosphere at the club is one of anticipation, as fans and players await news on the coach's continuity after a surprising elimination from the continental tournament, an event that has caused a significant stir in the football community.
