Ángel Di María delivered a moment of brilliance in the 37th minute of the second half to give Rosario Central a 1-0 victory over rivals Newell’s in the clásico rosarino.
The 36-year-old curled a free kick perfectly into the top corner, igniting wild celebrations at the Gigante de Arroyito. The goal, Di María’s third of the season in the Liga Profesional Argentina, came after his first two had been scored from the penalty spot.
Visibly emotional, Di María celebrated with his trademark heart gesture, dedicating the goal to his wife and family in the stands. The stadium erupted in an ovation, with the home crowd saluting their idol in what turned into one of the most memorable nights since his return to Rosario Central.
