Rosario Central, with the presence of Ángel Di María, drew without goals with Independiente del Valle in the match that closed the first round of group H of the Copa Libertadores. The Estadio Gigante de Arroyito was packed in the stands and generated a tense atmosphere that consecrated Colombian goalkeeper Aldair Quintana as the figure of the match. The match was intense from the first minute and a great collective performance ended with a shot by Colombian Jaminton Campaz that was deflected. They were close to opening the scoring in the 9th and 16th minutes, when Independiente del Valle had three clear chances with medium-range shots from Jordy Alcívar and Layan Loor, which demanded Jeremías Ledesma. There was also a one-on-one by Matías Perelló that was poorly resolved over the crossbar. From that moment on, the local team had a timid shot by Alejo Véliz and a left-footed shot by Ángel Di María in the 26th minute that required a spectacular save from Quintana. The visitor's response came in the 42nd minute when Carlos 'Charly' González missed a shot in the small area and the ball went centimeters from the right post of goalkeeper Jeremías Ledesma. Before the end of the first half, Vicente Pizarro had the last chance to open the scoring, but his shot was deflected after a great play by Ángel Di María, who returned to play the Copa Libertadores after 20 years. In the second half, Rosario, driven by their audience, went in search of the goal and in the first moments a good combination of Campaz and Di María ended in a center that Alejo Véliz pushed into the net, but the goal was annulled due to an advanced position of the Colombian. In the 60th minute, a blow without a ball in the wait for a corner kick by Junior Soronza on Ignacio Ovando resulted in the expulsion of the captain of Independiente del Valle. Coach Jorge Almirón put forward Enzo Copete to take advantage of the extra player and at the end of Carlos Quintana to look for the aerial game. However, the other Quintana, Aldair the goalkeeper, looked unbeatable and with several saves against Campaz left his goal at zero in addition to a header from Véliz that was deflected. After this draw, Rosario Central will visit Asunción next Wednesday to face Libertad, who today lost 3-1 in their excursion to Venezuelan territory. Independiente del Valle will receive the new leader Universidad Central de Venezuela on the same day. Rosario Central's team was formed by Jeremías Ledesma; Emanuel Coronel, Ignacio Ovando, Gastón Ávila, Agustín Sández; Franco Ibarra, Vicente Pizarro, Enzo Giménez; Angel Di María, Jaminton Campaz and Alejo Véliz. On the other hand, Independiente del Valle played with Aldair Quintana; Daykol Romero, Mateo Carabajal, Juan Viacava, Layan Loor; Juan Alcívar, Junior Sornoza; Emerson Pata, Matías Perelló, Justin Lerma; Carlos González.
