Di María’s Masterclass Secures Supercopa for Rosario Central
The Supercopa Internacional final featured a standout performance from Di María. The experienced Argentine player led his team’s comeback, securing the trophy in an exciting match. Estudiantes, who are already preparing for their clash against Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores semifinals, could not contain Rosario Central’s momentum.
Match Context and Libertadores Future
Estudiantes secured their spot in the Supercopa Internacional as the 2025 Trofeo de Campeones winner, while Rosario Central was the winner of the Argentine Professional League’s annual standings. The final defeat, however, does not diminish the La Plata team’s focus on its main objective: the Copa Libertadores.
Flamengo, the reigning South American champion, awaits Estudiantes for a decisive semifinal clash. The matches are scheduled for the weeks of October 14 and 21, with the first leg in La Plata and the return leg at the Maracanã, a venue where the Rubro-Negro has the advantage of playing the decisive leg due to having the best overall campaign in the group stage.
Flamengo Focuses on Semifinal Preparation
While Estudiantes was competing in the Supercopa, Flamengo took advantage of the national calendar break to prepare for the decisive Libertadores matchups. The team led by Filipe Luís is aiming for a second consecutive title, an unprecedented feat for a Brazilian club in the tournament.
Flamengo reached the semifinals after eliminating Independiente del Valle (ECU), while Estudiantes dispatched Corinthians in the quarterfinals, demonstrating the strength of the Argentines in the competition. Expectations are high for thrilling clashes between the two teams in October.
