Ángel Di Maria sparks epic comeback: ex-Benfica star scores beauty (Video) | OneFootball

Rosario Central are in the Torneo Apertura quarter-finals and have, once again, Ángel Di María to thank. The former Argentina international was the standout player in the thrilling 3-1 win over Independiente.

Trailing 1-0 in the 36th minute through Gabriel Avalos, the former Benfica man began the comeback with a great goal six minutes later.

The stunning strike scored by the World Cup winner came right on the stroke of half-time and set Jorge Almirón’s side on the path to victory.

It is worth remembering that, recently, the former Benfica winger fulfilled his dream of scoring in the Copa Libertadores, 20 years after making his debut in the prestigious international competition. 'El Fideo' went on to help Rosario Central secure a win against Universidad Central de Venezuela (3-0).

This season, playing for Rosario Central, Ángel Di María — valued at €2 million — has already made a total of 32 official appearances: 28 in the Primera División, three in the Copa Libertadores and one in the Copa Argentina.
