Outstanding performance
Rosario Central•MidfielderRosario Central controlled the vast majority of this match, dominating possession 68-32% and out-shooting Gimnasia 14-11 while completing nearly double the passes, yet found themselves undone by a chaotic finish. An own goal from Jeremias Ledesma in the 59th minute, following sustained pressure from Angel Di Maria, gave Gimnasia a lead against the run of play that Rosario looked destined to overturn. Jáminton Campaz's 86th-minute equalizer, set up by substitute Tomás Badaloni, appeared to rescue the hosts, but Ignacio Miramón struck just two minutes later to complete the sucker-punch and hand Gimnasia all three points. For Rosario, this result stings given their statistical dominance and 10 corners to 3, while Gimnasia's clinical edge and defensive resilience (23 tackles, 6 saves) proved decisive despite being second-best for most of the ninety minutes.

Rosario Central welcome Gimnasia La Plata to the Estadio 15 de Abril sitting fourth in the Clausura, looking to build on a dramatic 2-2 draw with Talleres last weekend. With Ángel Di María in sparkling form and a Rosario derby looming on the horizon, Almirón's side will want three points — but a tricky Gimnasia outfit will be eager to upset the party.
