Rosario Central put on a show at home, earning a commanding 3-0 win over Instituto ACC in Matchday 14 of the Liga Profesional Argentina. As a result, they surged up to second place in Zone B, just one point behind the current leaders.

Right from the kickoff, Rosario looked in control. Then, in just the 8th minute, Santiago López broke the deadlock with a sharp finish. From that moment on, Rosario dictated the pace. Instituto tried to respond, but they struggled to get into the match.

Campaz Delivers Spark, Then Signals Concern

The second half brought even more fireworks, mostly from Jaminton Campaz. The Colombian winger was lively, aggressive, and everywhere on the left side. In the 68th minute, his hard work paid off. Campaz darted down the flank and fired in a low, powerful cross. Gaspar Duarte was there to tap it home for the 2-0 lead.

Campaz was easily one of the best on the pitch. But just 16 minutes later, he pulled up with discomfort. At 84 minutes, he asked to be subbed off. He limped off the field, and Rosario fans held their breath. While nothing has been confirmed yet, it’s a potential setback, as he was hitting top form.

Copetti Seals the Deal in Added Time

Despite Campaz’s exit, Rosario didn’t lose focus. They pushed for a third—and found it in stoppage time. At 90’+4, Enzo Copetti pounced on a setup from Emanuel Coronel, slotting it past the keeper to cap a perfect night.

Rosario was dominant on both ends. They finished with 19 shots, 8 on target, and held Instituto to zero shots on goal. That defensive grit, paired with attacking precision, made this one of their most complete performances of the season.

Table Impact and What’s Next

With the win, Rosario Central now holds 29 points, just behind Independiente at the top of the Zone B standings. Instituto, on the other hand, stays near the bottom with just 14 points and little momentum.
