The Rosario Central team managed to consolidate its position at the top of Zone B by defeating Sarmiento de Junín 1-0 in a match corresponding to the seventh round of the Liga Profesional. The goal that made the difference was scored by Agustín Sánchez at the 6-minute mark of the first half, in a duel held at the Gigante de Arroyito stadium in front of a large crowd.
Sarmiento de Junín, which has a streak of fourteen matches without victories as a visitor, finished the match with ten players on the field due to the expulsion of Juan Insaurralde towards the end. Despite their efforts, the visiting team was unable to trouble Rosario Central, which imposed its game and positions itself as a serious candidate for the title in the competition.
This victory ensured that Rosario Central remains at the top of its group with a one-point lead over Independiente, but with the possibility of being caught by San Lorenzo if the latter wins the derby against Huracán on Sunday. Previously, Central arrived at the match motivated by their victory over Newell's and managed to dominate the encounter against Sarmiento, who opted to defend and rely on counterattacks without success.
In summary, Rosario Central demonstrated its superiority on the field, remains firm in the lead of the zone, and positions itself as a strong contender for the title of the Liga Profesional.
