Rosario Central Climbs to the Top of Zona B Following Matchday 12

Rosario Central climbed to the summit of Zona B in the Torneo Clausura following the completion of the twelfth matchday of the tournament. The team secured the top position in their group after defeating Independiente Rivadavia with a commanding 5 to 0 scoreline at home.

The convincing victory allowed the team from Rosario to reach 22 points in the standings. They currently share the same number of units as Belgrano and Argentinos Juniors, but hold the first-place position due to a superior goal difference.

The goals in the match against Independiente Rivadavia came from Ángel Di María, who scored twice, alongside contributions from Jaminton Campaz, Enzo Copetti, and Marco Ruben. This offensive display underscored their strong performance during this phase of the competition.

Meanwhile, Huracán missed a crucial opportunity to claim the leadership of Grupo B after falling 2 to 0 against Barracas Central at the Claudio Chiqui Tapia stadium. Norberto Briasco scored both goals for the home side, applying the "law of the ex" against his former club.

During the match against Barracas Central, the visiting team struggled to create clear scoring opportunities and voiced complaints regarding referee decisions. Huracán argued that a potential penalty should have been awarded early in the match and claimed a missed handball call during stoppage time in the second half.

As a result of the defeat, Huracán missed the chance to capture the group lead and secure a direct spot in the qualification zone for the upcoming international tournaments. Meanwhile, Barracas Central capitalized on the result to climb into the eighth position, placing themselves inside the playoff qualification spots.

Looking ahead in the tournament schedule, Rosario Central will travel to face Atlético Tucumán on Saturday, October 17, at 20:00. The upcoming fixtures will prove decisive as teams fight for positioning in the final stretch of the Torneo Clausura group stage.
