Rosario Central Rally Past Aldosivi to Secure 2-1 Comeback Victory

Rosario Central Complete Second-Half Comeback to Beat Aldosivi

Rosario Central recovered from a second-half deficit to defeat Aldosivi 2-1 at Gigante de Arroyito in Round 4 of the Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura. A. Sosa put the visitors ahead, but an own goal from N. Zalazar and a late finish by J. Campaz completed the home side’s turnaround on Friday, August 7, 2026.

Rosario Central Turn Deficit Into Victory

Rosario Central secured all three points after falling behind shortly after halftime, showing the resilience needed to change the direction of the match. The hosts’ response was built around two decisive moments in the second half, with the equalizer arriving nine minutes after Aldosivi’s opener and the winning goal coming in the 80th minute.

The victory moved Rosario Central to nine points from four Clausura Group B matches, improving on the one win, one draw and one loss they had recorded before kickoff. It also added to a strong Apertura campaign in which they collected 28 points from 16 matches and finished fourth in Group B.

Aldosivi Take Lead After Halftime

Aldosivi took the lead in the 52nd minute through A. Sosa, who was credited with a normal goal. The strike gave the visitors an important advantage at the start of the second half and placed Rosario Central under pressure to find a response.

That lead proved short-lived, however, as Rosario Central drew level in the 61st minute. Aldosivi entered the match with one point from three Clausura games after two defeats and a draw, and although Sosa’s goal briefly offered encouragement, the visitors could not protect their advantage.

Zalazar Own Goal Changes the Match

The equalizer came through an own goal by N. Zalazar, recorded in the 61st minute. Rather than a finish credited to a Rosario Central attacker, the goal was classified as Zalazar’s own goal for Aldosivi, but it nevertheless transformed the contest by bringing the home side back onto level terms.

That moment became the central turning point of the match. With the score tied, Rosario Central gained the platform to push for a second goal, while Aldosivi’s inability to hold onto their lead continued a difficult start to the Clausura and left them still without a victory after four matches.

Campaz Seals Win and Shapes Clausura Form

J. Campaz supplied the decisive moment in the 80th minute, scoring Rosario Central’s second normal goal to put the hosts ahead for the first time. His late contribution made him the standout attacking figure in the closing stages and ultimately settled the match in Rosario Central’s favor.

The only recorded disciplinary incident came in the 90th minute, when R. Gonzalez of Aldosivi received a yellow card. Referee Pablo Echavarria oversaw the match at Gigante de Arroyito, where Rosario Central’s comeback strengthened their early Clausura form while Aldosivi remained on one point from four games.
