Rosario Central defeats Barracas Central 1-0 in Torneo Clausura
Rosario Central defeated Barracas Central 1-0 in a match for the fifth round of the Torneo Clausura. The winning goal was scored by Alan Rodríguez in the 40th minute of the first half. To manage their upcoming Copa Libertadores fixture against Corinthians, Rosario Central coach Jorge Almirón fielded an alternative lineup featuring several young players.
The match at the Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia stadium faced an unusual delay. During the inauguration of the stadium's new lighting system, a fireworks display triggered an electrical failure, leaving the venue in darkness. The game was delayed for approximately 35 minutes before play could resume.
With this victory, Rosario Central has secured its third consecutive win in the local tournament, moving to third place in Group B with 10 points.
