Rosario Central wins thrilling Copa Libertadores match against Corinthians. The match was broadcast by Telefe and was refereed by Andrés Matonte. The Canalla was second in Group H of the first stage with 13 points from four wins, one draw and one defeat against Independiente del Valle of Ecuador, which cost them the first place, which the Ecuadorians took with the same number of units and the advantage in the head-to-head between them from that triumph. The Rosario Central team, with Ángel Di María, arrived at the crossroads in a good moment because they won the last two matches they played in the 2026 Clausura Tournament -vs. River 1-0 and Aldosivi 2-1-, in which they are eighth in zone B with seven units. The Timão, on the other hand, led Group E with 11 goals thanks to three wins, two draws and one defeat and relegated Platense, Independiente Santa Fe of Colombia and Peñarol of Uruguay. The broadcast began with a preview at 21:15 on the Telefe screen with a base of 7.1. With reports and comments from Juan Pablo Varsky and Pablo Giralt and coverage from the field of play by Sofi Martínez, the first half started with 6.9, second in the strip. While the two teams had several shots on goal, much kicking and little danger, none managed to score. The first half ended with 6.1 points of rating. The second half started at 22:40 with a base of 5.6, second in the strip. Rosario Central had several approaches to the goal with errant shots from Gastón Ávila, Ángel Di María and Jáminton Campaz. At 29 minutes Allan Souza received the second yellow card, was expelled and Corinthians was left with ten players. And although the Rosario Central team was superior, the match ended without goals and with 6 points of rating. They will have the rematch next week in San Pablo.
