When do River vs Rosario Central play for the Professional League
The match, with seats sold out since Thursday, when Gallardo announced his departure from River, will begin at 8:30 p.m. at the Mas Monumental stadium with arbitration by Fernando Echenique and broadcast by ESPN Premium.
The Gallardo Doll’s farewell party, after eight and a half years at the helm of the team with 14 titles in what was the most successful era of a DT in “millionaire” history, will begin once the game is over.
The more than 72,000 fans, who occupied the available places in the 24 River games at home, will repeat the ritual for the last time in the previous one: Gallardo goes out to the field and walks towards the bench, the stadium explodes with the “Muñeeeeeeco, Muñeeeeeeeeco” , he raises his hand in greeting and smiles. On this occasion, the emotions will be different.
The preparations for the farewell include the preparation of an emotional video that will be played on the stadium’s giant screen, fireworks, flags, banners with representative phrases of the cycle and delivery of plaques, among other surprises.
There will also be a microphone ready in case Gallardo wants to speak to the public in his last match at the Monumental. That will depend on the coach.
Several new songs are being viralized on social networks to express in the stands, while the Fan Subcommittee began to prepare different messages with emblematic phrases of the Doll that could be hung around the Monumental. In addition, there will be a banner.
Against Central, Gallardo will direct his last game at the Monumental with the coincidence that the first time he sat on the substitute bench as coach was against the same team, on August 17, 2014, for the second date of the Transition Tournament. In that home debut, the team won 2-0 with goals from Teófilo Gutiérrez and Leonardo Pisculichi.

Beyond the fact that the game will take a backseat to the dismissal of Gallardo, a coach who transcended the results in a highly successful football and constantly changes coaches (for example, seven coaches passed in Boca while he remained in his charge), River is playing an important game to continue adding points in the annual table and ensure a direct place in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2023, where for now it has a playoff spot.
On the other hand, in the event that Boca becomes champion, the rival of the Champions Trophy must be resolved, which will come from a match between Tigre, runner-up in the League Cup and whoever is in second place in the current tournament and River has chances.
Today, the “Millionaire” has 44 points and is four behind the leader Boca (with a game pending), three behind Racing (his rival from the last date) and one behind Atlético Tucumán.
To receive the “Canalla”, directed by Carlos Tevez, Gallardo will not be able to count on Miguel Borja and Milton Casco, who reached five yellow cards.
In addition, Emanuel Mammana -with a blow to his right knee- and Paulo Díaz, who did not play against Platense due to a cut with sutures on the knee that he suffered against Patronato, are in doubt.
In Rosario Central, the left back Lautaro Blanco, who served a suspension date, will return for the youthful Fernando Rodríguez. Meanwhile, “Apache” will also have offensive midfielder Gino Infantino (he also served his penalty) and awaits the evolution of left midfielder Ignacio Malcorra, who suffered an injury to his left thigh.
