In a match for the heart attack, Rosario Central won 1-0 against Newell’s in the Gigante de Arroyito, for the ninth round of the Professional League, and in this way, it took away the undefeated that dragged from the beginning of the championship and prevented it from reaching the top of the standings. The team led by Carlos Tévez won with a goal from Alejo Véliz with a header in stoppage time in the first half. Likewise, Leprosy had the clearest situations: so much so that Pablo Pérez wasted an incredible situation below the arc. During the second half, he looked to take advantage of the spaces left by Newell’s in the background, who desperately sought the equalizer and seconds from the end missed another inexplicable situation under the arc. However, Franco Herrera’s good responses prevented the advantage from being even greater.
Once the match was over, Véliz, author of the only goal, was moved and tearfully recalled his beginnings in football, when he was taken to train “without a weight”. “I have no words to explain what I feel, I dreamed all my life about this. With all these people… my family, my grandfather, came to mind, who were always with me fighting her, who without a weight took me everywhere to train,” said the 18-year-old striker. He continued: “Thank God I was fortunate enough to come and it all happened very quickly. They say that the moments have to be taken advantage of and I want to take advantage of this emotion”, and closed: “Thank my teammates and the entire coaching staff for giving me this opportunity. I have no words, thanks to all these people because even in the baddest moments they fill the court and come to support.”
