Ex Unión man Cordero plays the villain, spoils Di María’s show at the death | OneFootball

The match began with a frenetic pace set by Rosario Central. Less than five minutes had passed when Di María's left foot drew a perfect arc from the right corner, allowing Ovando to head in a lethal goal to make it 1-0. That early goal seemed to set the tone for a match where "Fideo" moved with total freedom, taking on the role of both playmaker and finisher of nearly all dangerous plays.

However, football is not about merit but goals. Despite Axel Werner having to exert himself to the maximum to stop two shots destined for the net by Di María, Aldosivi withstood the onslaught. Farré's team, aware of its limitations, relied on determination and order, hoping that the physical toll would affect the Rosario team in the second half of the match.

The gamble paid off for the home team. In the final stretch, Central retreated and allowed Aldosivi to systematically send crosses into Ledesma's area. In one of those contested balls, Cordero showcased his full class: he controlled with finesse and, without letting the ball drop, executed a masterful scissor kick that found the net. The draw was the perfect conclusion to an afternoon where Di María's magic was overshadowed by the resilience and opportunism of the "Shark."
