Rosario Central Downs River Plate 2–1 After VAR Offside Ruling Shapes Clash

Central’s win sends them top of the annual table in a tightening race.

Overview

  • Miguel Ángel Borja opened the scoring on 10 minutes, Ibarra equalized from a rebound, and Ignacio Malcorra hit the second‑half winner.
  • Borja’s second goal at 30 minutes was disallowed for offside on Facundo Colidio following an assistant’s flag and a VAR review, as justified by referee Yael Falcón Pérez.
  • River finished with 10 men after Juan Portillo received a second yellow card for two quick fouls on Ángel Di María.
  • The result leaves River fourth in Zone B on 18 points and third in the annual standings, with Rosario Central taking the annual‑table lead.
  • River fans erupted on X over the annulled goal, with posts labeling it a robbery and referencing recent comments by Di María.
