River's dig at Rosario Central after knocking them out of the Apertura | OneFootball

El Millo won 1-0 with a goal from Facundo Colidio and booked a spot in the final, which will be played in Córdoba next Sunday.

Ángel Di María was one of the main figures in the River vs. Rosario Central clash in the Apertura Tournament semifinals. The presence of Fideo, a world champion who returned to Argentine football to play for the club where he got his start, along with some statements after eliminating Racing, put him in the spotlight, and Millonario fans sang a few songs alluding to him being friends with those in power.

When the stadium announcer read out the lineups, Di María was the most heavily booed in the entire Monumental, but the player himself understood it once the match was over. Fideo spoke with ESPN and said: “It’s part of football folklore, and I understand it. I left this stadium to standing ovations many times, and that’s what will stay in my memory. Today I’m wearing this shirt, not the Argentina national team’s.”

River’s jab at Di María

Through its official X account, River took a subtle jab at Ángel Di María and used Matías Viña as the focal point. The Uruguayan played a great match and on more than one occasion won his one-on-one duels against Fideo. In the Millonario’s post there is a photo of the left back accompanied by the text: “Matías Viña”, along with the emoji of two hands forming a heart, which is Di María’s signature celebration.
