The spicy jab from Matías Cóccaro to Ángel Di Maria in the Rosario classic: "The one you raised at a desk"

The classic Rosario match once again delivered a scene in line with the history of the game. In a high-intensity encounter that ended 1-1 between Rosario Central and Newell’s, Ángel Di María and Matías Cóccaro starred in one of the hottest moments of the afternoon, with taunts, gestures, and a direct reference to the controversial title won by Canalla in 2025.

Everything happened during the second half, when Central was leading 1-0 thanks to Gastón Ávila's left-footed shot. After receiving a foul from Lucas Carrizo, Di María was left lying on the grass and was assisted by his teammates. Cóccaro approached, though not precisely to help him: he demanded that he get up and implied that he was wasting time.

The exchange quickly heated up. After a contact to the face and some words, the world champion responded with a provocation. Still on the ground, Fideo stretched his shirt to show the Rosario Central badge and accompanied the gesture with a smile.

The discussion continued when both got back on their feet. Di María flaunted his champion status and Cóccaro seized the opportunity to throw a taunt related to the championship won by Central in 2025. "Ah, the one you lifted at the desk, man", the Uruguayan said with laughter. The Newell’s forward didn’t stop there. After being separated by Ávila, he shouted from afar: "In the office!".
