Ángel Di María scored an olimpico, a goal from a corner kick, for Rosario Central in their 1-1 draw against Boca Juniors.

Di María had the best goal of the weekend, scoring directly from a corner kick for Rosario Central. With the score at 0-0, Leandro Paredes, who was Boca’s best player, played a pass in to Aguirre and his cross inside the penalty area found Rodrigo Battaglia who scored a header to give Boca the 1-0 lead.

Minutes later, Rosario Central were awarded a corner kick and it was Ángel Di María who took the corner kick, scoring directly from it to draw Rosario Central level. He now has four goals in seven league matches since returning to Rosario Central.

The match would end 1-1 with Boca in third place in their group and Rosario sixth in their group.

Lisandro Martínez plans return for late October or early November

Per reports by journalist Gastón Edul, Lisandro Martínez is working on his recovery with the aim of returning to action between late October and early November. Manchester United have decided not to rush the Argentine defender back, focusing instead on ensuring he is fully fit and able to regain continuity ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Martínez has been sidelined since February, when he suffered a serious left knee ligament injury during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace. The setback required surgery and was expected to keep him out for around eight months.

The 27-year-old has been an important figure for both Manchester United and the Argentina national team, and his planned return will be closely followed by Lionel Scaloni and his staff as they prepare for the next World Cup.

Giovanni Simeone scores for Torino in 1-0 win vs. AS Roma

Torino earned a major victory at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday with a 1-0 win over AS Roma, thanks to a spectacular goal by Giovanni Simeone. The Argentine forward, who joined Il Toro just over a month ago, marked his first goal for the club in style, sealing the three points against Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé’s Roma.

In only his fourth match with Torino, Simeone made the difference midway through the second half. In the 58th minute, the striker controlled the ball near the edge of the box on the left side and unleashed a powerful low shot that beat Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar at the far post.

The result came as a relief for Torino after a difficult start to the Serie A season, which included a heavy 0-5 defeat to Inter and a 0-0 draw against Fiorentina. Roma had entered the match unbeaten after two straight victories, but despite dominating possession and creating several chances, they were unable to convert.

Both Dybala and Soulé started for the home side, but the spotlight quickly shifted to Dybala’s fitness after he was substituted at halftime. The Argentine had only recently returned in August following surgery on his left hamstring tendon, injured in March against Cagliari, and while manager Gian Piero Gasperini had noted before the match that he was improving but not yet ready for a full 90 minutes, his early exit now raises concerns ahead of the upcoming derby against Lazio.
