Outstanding performance
Rosario Central•MidfielderRosario Central claimed a dramatic 2-1 victory over Sarmiento in a match they dominated statistically but nearly let slip away. Despite controlling 64% possession and registering 22 shots to Sarmiento's five, Central found themselves level at 1-1 after substitute Jonatan Gómez equalized in the 77th minute. The hosts had taken the lead through Alejo Veliz just before halftime, capitalizing on sustained pressure that saw Vicente Pizarro force two saves from Javier Burrai. However, Central's wastefulness in front of goal - missing two big chances while creating four - nearly cost them as Sarmiento's clinical counter-attacking approach brought them level. The turning point came in the 90th minute when Vicente Pizarro Durcudoy, who had been cautioned earlier for time-wasting, redeemed himself with the winner to secure three crucial points for Central.
