The successful River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo had announced that he would not renew for the ninth year with the millionaire cast and that made tonight’s game once morest Rosario Central special: it would be the last of the Muñeco in his stadium, the Monumental.
The result was not good, as Rosario won 2-1 thanks to two goals from Alejo Véliz, at 11 and 49 minutes, plus Matías Suárez’s discount, at 88′.
The possibility of rescuing a point in the final minutes heated things up to the point that one of the red-and-white players was sent off following giving the referee a strong push. Juan Fernando Quintero accuses in the play that the judge had hit him in the face.
