Central Rosary tied tonight at home 1 to 1 against Deportivo Riestraat the close of the regular phase of the competition, in a match valid for the fourteenth and last date of Group A of the Professional League Cup 2024.
At the Gigante de Arroyito stadium, Alan Barrionuevo had opened the score for “Malevo” after 14 minutes of play, but Colombian Jaminton Campaz tied it at 47 minutes into the first half.
Riestra played almost the entire match with ten men due to the expulsion of Milton Céliz, 8 minutes into the initial stage.

Rosario Central’s next match will be on Tuesday, April 23, from 7:00 p.m., against Caracas of Venezuela at the Olympic Stadium of the Central University for the third date of Group G of the Copa Libertadores.
For its part, Cristian Fabbiani’s team closed its first participation in an elite Argentine soccer competition and finished twelfth with 13 points.
On the weekend of May 12, Deportivo Riestra will begin the Professional League against San Lorenzo de Almagro at the Guillermo Laza stadium.
In just eight minutes of the game, the last match of the regular phase had an incident that, from the outset, seemed to complicate the situation for Deportivo Riestra and was the expulsion of its captain, Milton Celiz.
After reviewing it in the VAR, referee Andrés Merlos made the decision to give the former Arsenal de Sarandí a direct red card for a harsh infraction on the “Canalla” defender, Emanuel Coronel.
Just 6 minutes after being left with one less player, “Malevo” opened the scoring with a goal from Alan Barrionuevo. After a great free kick from the left by Pedro Ramírez, the ball landed on the penalty spot where the Deportivo Riestra defender headed and, after reviewing the play in the VAR for a possible offside, made it 1-0 in Arroyito .
This splash of cold water woke up Rosario Central, who went in search of an equalizer and achieved it in the 47th minute, at the end of the first half, with the goal from the Colombian Campaz after a shot at the near post.
In the second half, the game’s level was declining and it became flatter without any dangerous chances for either of the two sides that looked favorably on the final 1-1 on the scoreboard.
