Tuesday night saw a home win at the Gigante del Arroyito, not that it’ll be much consolation for the majority of supporters of the selección. River Plate played ineptly and when Diego Buonanotte gave the ball away in midfield, Rosario Central were able to break and score their second goal in an eventual 2-1 win. Last week, of course, we’d already seen wins for Atlético de Tucumán, Independiente, Banfield and Vélez, as well as 5-1 thumping of Tigre by Colón de Santa Fe. Now the round is over, all the scores and scorers can be found here.
