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.
And on the opposite side, Rosario, paradoxically with an interim coach like Adrián Coria, greatly improved their production after the departure of Javier Sanguinetti, who has now returned to Banfield.
The path began to clear for the red and black team towards the end of the first half, facilitated by the goal against Iván Ramírez, who opened the account for those from Parque de la Independencia.
And the finishing touch of the task came as soon as the complement began, when before 10 minutes the Colombian defender stepped on the local area and defined with his left foot. as a striker, to put the visitors up two goals.
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.
In this way, Newell’s recovered ground and established itself in the South American zone, while Central Córdoba seeks to continue adding to accumulate points for next season.
On the next day, the 25th, Newell’s will host Tigre, who has two points less in that table to access the South American, while Central Córdoba will visit an Arsenal that continues to fight to remain in first place.
