The atmosphere at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa was electric, with fans buzzing with every play. The Clásico Rosarino is always a highly anticipated match, and this time was no different. Newell's Old Boys showed determination from the first minute, opening the scoring thanks to a goal by M. Cóccaro in the 15th minute. The striker skillfully evaded the rival defense to place the ball in the lower corner of the net.

However, Rosario Central quickly reacted. In the 32nd minute, a well-executed free kick from their star player installed panic in Newell's Old Boys' goal. The first half ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving both teams searching for victory.

In the second half, the tension intensified. A second goal from Newell's Old Boys, once again by Cóccaro, put them ahead 2-1, but the joy was short-lived as Central leveled the score again due to a defensive error in La Lepra's backline. The match finished 2-2, leaving fans with mixed feelings but showcasing the team's fight. "We need to improve, but we're on the right path," commented G. Arias, the team's goalkeeper, after the match.
