AD Rosario will be frustrated with the defensive errors that led to both goals, but they also showed their own attacking qualities. Their persistence and direct style made for an open game that neutral fans could appreciate, yet the lack of concentration in key moments ultimately cost them a result on the road.

Standings Context
