Rosario Central claimed the Supercopa with a 3‑1 win over Estudiantes

Rosario Central claimed the Supercopa Internacional with a 3‑1 win over Estudiantes de La Plata, driven by Ángel Di María’s decisive brace in a final overshadowed by controversy and late‑game chaos. Estudiantes struck first through Alexis Castro after just 53 seconds, but Di María turned the match around with two first‑half goals, before Julián Fernández sealed the victory in stoppage time.

Tensions simmered throughout, particularly after a contentious penalty awarded when Enzo Copetti went down under contact from Leandro González Pírez. The decision enraged club president Juan Sebastián Verón, who later confronted referee Dario Herrera, shouting “All yours, you thief!” as tempers boiled over.

The closing moments descended into a mass brawl, with punches and shoves exchanged before both teams were ushered off the pitch. The rivalry had been inflamed since November 2025, when Estudiantes refused to honour Rosario Central’s guard of honour after their league triumph.
