Rosario Central fell 1-0 this Tuesday against Atlético Mineiro in a practically empty Gigante de Arroyito, for the fourth date of Group G of the Copa Libertadores. Paulinho scored the only goal for Gabriel Milito’s team, which has a perfect score and has already qualified for the round of 16.
Without ideas or incursions into the rival area, Miguel Angel Russo’s team had to suffer the attacks of the Brazilian team in the first half and did not end up at a disadvantage due to the enormous task of goalkeeper “Fatura” Broun, who with sheer effort drowned out their scream. to Hulk and Paulinho on two very clear occasions.
Before the break, the crossbar again denied Mineiro the opening, which had the Argentines Renzo Saravia, Rodrigo Battaglia and Matías Zaracho as starters, after a superb free kick by Hulk that left the Auriazul goalkeeper and captain standing.
In the second half, the local team evened out the proceedings after a close call from the Brazilians and came into real danger around the quarter of an hour mark with a breakaway from the Colombian Campaz that ended with a shot just wide.
In the reply, a visiting attack from the left ended with a cross that the Uruguayan Mallo could not clear and Scarpa hit him badly on the run.
Later, a rally by the admitted Vargas – who bothered Broun at the start – ended in a victory annulled by the referee, in addition to the Chilean being reprimanded.
Near the end, a half turn from the scorer Paulinho gave Milito’s team the victory and a place in the next round.
The Rosarinos were third and quite complicated after Peñarol’s 1-0 victory in their visit to Caracas, which left the Uruguayans in second place.
