Ángel Di Maria stars in epic comeback: former Benfica man scores (Video) | OneFootball

Rosario Central are in the quarter-finals of the Torneo Apertura and, once again, they have 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, after a goal from Gabriel Avalos, the former Benfica player sparked the comeback with a stunning goal six minutes later.

It was ultimately sealed near the end of the match, with goals from Cantizano (84') and Verón (90+2').

It should be remembered that, recently, the former Benfica winger fulfilled his dream of scoring in the Copa Libertadores, 20 years after his debut in the prestigious international competition. 'El Fideo' went on to help Rosario Central claim victory 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 First Division, three in the Copa Libertadores and one in the Argentine Cup.
