This Sunday, November 22, Rosario Central will host Estudiantes de La Plata in a tense clash corresponding to the round of 16 of the Clausura Tournament playoffs.
The match, scheduled for 17:30 and covered live by the Argentine News Agency, will take place at the Gigante de Arroyito Stadium and can be watched on ESPN Premium.
The designated referee is Pablo Dóvalo, while Hernán Mastrángelo will be in charge of the VAR.
Rosario Central arrives at this match as the great favorite, having finished first in Zone B with 31 points, which also allowed them to qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores. Estudiantes de La Plata, for its part, is going through a very poor moment due to very bad results in the final stretch of the Clausura Tournament's regular phase. This is how they entered the playoffs through the back door, but did not secure a ticket to any international competition next year.
Both clubs maintain a lot of tension in the run-up to this encounter.
This is due to the League Champion title that the AFA invented/gave to Rosario Central for finishing first in the annual table, a situation that was repudiated on social media by Estudiantes de La Plata. Even the AFA forced Estudiantes to create a corridor for their rival in recognition of this "achievement".
