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

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

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

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

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 main figure. The Uruguayan played a great match and on more than one occasion won his individual duels against Fideo. In the Millonario’s post, there is a photo of the left back accompanied by a caption: “Matías Viña,” along with the emoji of two hands forming a heart, which is Di María’s signature celebration.
