“Ángel Di María steps up and converts the penalty to put Rosario Central ahead 0-1.”
Pivotal“A flurry of late substitutions and bookings, including Pol Fernández and Alan Barrionuevo, as Tigre push forward chasing an equalizer that never comes.”
Tigre
Rosario Central
Outstanding performance
Rosario Central•DefenderRosario Central controlled the game territorially, dominating possession at 58% and completing far more passes with greater accuracy, and that control eventually told when Jaminton Campaz won a penalty after a VAR review, converted emphatically by Ángel Di María in the 60th minute. Tigre had chances of their own, missing three big opportunities and forcing six saves from the visiting goalkeeper, but they lacked the cutting edge to punish Rosario's slightly wasteful finishing at the other end. The contest turned increasingly physical and chaotic after the goal, with Emanuel Coronel's second yellow reducing Tigre to ten men in the 76th minute and compounding their task. For Rosario Central, the win keeps them firmly in the title conversation, while Tigre's home struggles continue as they now face mounting pressure in a congested mid-table zone.
