River Plate wins Copa Libertadores match with midfielder playing full match in goal

With an injured midfielder improvising as a goalkeeper, and without any reserves because of a COVID-19 outbreak in the squad, River Plate somehow managed to beat Colombia's Santa Fé 2-1 on Wednesday in the Copa Libertadores.
The Argentine club took a 2-0 lead after six minutes in the group D match at the Monumental de Nuñez stadium in Buenos Aires, then defended desperately in front of emergency goalkeeper Enzo Pérez for the remainder of the match.
Twenty River Plate players tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this week, including all four goalkeepers. Coach Marcelo Gallardo hoped to bring two youth team goalkeepers into the senior squad, but South American soccer body CONMEBOL rejected the move.
Got off to an ideal start

Saw a headline that they only had ten players too?
ETA: rushed Enzo Perez back from injury to stand in goal apparently

I felt bad for them then this
The Buenos Aires giants have been hit by an outbreak of coronavirus. In a domestic game at the weekend, against historic rivals Boca Juniors, they were forced to give a debut to Leonardo Diaz, the fifth-choice keeper. But he had not been included in the squad for the Libertadores. With the precise aim of covering this situation, CONMEBOL had allowed teams to name a list of 50 players. River refused. They stuck with 32, including four keepers -- and then they found themselves with all four, plus 16 others, testing positive for COVID-19.
