Overview

• The match was halted at 0-0 during halftime of Clausura round 7 at Estadio Eva Perón in Junín.
• Persistent heavy rain from mid-afternoon left the pitch unplayable and severely disrupted the first half.
• Merlos consulted captains Fatura Broun and Acosta and coaches Facundo Sava and Ariel Holán before suspending play to protect player safety.
• Reports described the opening 45 minutes as reduced to puddle-filled play with normal top-division football impossible.
• Such an in-play suspension is rare for Rosario Central, with the last comparable rain stoppage recorded in February 1977.
