BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -River Plate's turbulent season came to a dramatic conclusion on Monday when Racing Club scored a stoppage-time winner to earn a 3-2 victory in the Torneo Clausura Round of 16, eliminating Marcelo Gallardo's side from the competition.

Racing took an early lead in the fourth minute when Santiago Solari headed in Gabriel Rojas' pinpoint cross. The home side dominated much of the first half but failed to add to their advantage, with River goalkeeper Franco Armani superbly denying a powerful free kick from Agustin Almendra.
