Newell’s Old Boys strolled through the Único-Madre de Ciudades stadium after beating local Central Córdoba 3-0 at the close of the 24th. date of the Professional League and thereby reinforced their membership in the group of qualifiers for the 2023 South American Cup, but the Santiago public still celebrated their players because last day against Independiente, in Avellaneda, they had achieved the goal of saving themselves from relegation.
That is why the end was emotional for the team led precisely by an emblematic figure of Newell’s such as Abel Balbo, who despite the defeat on Monday developed an auspicious campaign since he arrived at the Santiago club together with the former coach of the Argentine basketball team, Julio The most.

From then on, Central Córdoba, perhaps relaxed due to early salvation, did not go to fight the game against Rosario, who even had time to increase with a celebrated goal by Marcelo Esponda, who scored the first goal of his career.
