This Sunday, Rosario Central drew 1-1 against Talleres at the Gigante de Arroyito for the 9th round of the Torneo Clausura. Alejo Véliz opened the scoring at 44’PT, while Valentín Depietri equalized at 48’PT.

Ariel Holan's plan was to give Ángel Di María freedom in the attack, accompanied by Gaspar Duarte on the right wing and the return of Jaminton Campaz on the left. Alejo Véliz was the reference in the area, who finally started despite the recent shoulder injury suffered against Boca.

At the start, Talleres set up in Arroyito with a line of five defenders and tried to play out from the back, but failed to impose conditions. The first clear dangerous situations were for the auriazul team, much more practical and vertical in their offensive approach.

Di María had the first great chance with a free kick that forced Guido Herrera to stretch to his post. Minutes later, the Cordoban goalkeeper shone again with a double save inside the area amid a disorganized closure by the visitors. Those actions awakened the Gigante and fired up the Canalla.

With all his hierarchy, Fideo became the team's conductor. He alternated between the center and the right, generated play, and was the most unbalancing, even when friction was present and opponents sought him out with constant fouls. Despite this, he never hid and was the banner of the auriazul attack.

Talleres took time to generate danger, but they managed it with a long-distance shot from Ulises Ortegoza that forced a spectacular dive from Jorge Broun. When it seemed the first half would end scoreless, the opener came: a cross from Di María from the right and a finish by Véliz, who brought the ball down with his chest and sent it into the net for 1-0.

The second half started with strong emotions. At 2 minutes, Talleres crafted a good collective play and Valentín Depietri, with a header, scored the equalizer. Central came out somewhat distracted and paid dearly, although they reacted quickly. Duarte scored after a cross from Malcorra, but the VAR annulled the action for a previous offside.

The young player continued to be a protagonist and in another run was brought down by Miguel Ángel Navarro as he was about to enter the area. The referee first awarded a penalty, but after review corrected it to a free kick. However, he sent off the midfielder for a second yellow card. With one more man, Holan made changes and brought in Enzo Copetti instead of Campaz to seek victory in the final minutes.

However, it wasn't enough, and it all ended in a draw. With this result, the Canalla is 7th in Zone B with 12 points and reached 47 points in the Annual Table.
