Overview
- The AFA/Liga Profesional formally recognized Rosario Central as “Campeón de Liga 2025” via bulletin 6,794 for leading the annual points table.
- Before their octavos match in Rosario, the league ordered a guard of honor and Estudiantes complied by forming it facing away in a pointed protest.
- Estudiantes won 1-0 at the Gigante de Arroyito on Edwin Cetré’s first-half goal, advancing to face Central Córdoba and eliminating the newly designated champion.
- Estudiantes stated no Executive Committee vote was held on the title recognition, a claim AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino rejected by asserting a unanimous vote with the club represented.
- Post-match reactions diverged as coach Ariel Holan labeled the back-turned pasillo disrespectful, Ángel Di María said it was the opponent’s choice, and club president Juan Sebastián Verón continued voicing dissent.
