Rosario Central was crowned champion of the International Supercup after defeating Estudiantes de La Plata 3-1. The goals for the Canalla were scored by Ángel Di María twice and Julián Fernández. Estudiantes had opened the scoring with a goal from Alexis Castro.

The match, held at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades, was marked by controversial refereeing decisions. A penalty awarded by Darío Herrera, after reviewing VAR, gave Rosario Central their second goal, which led to protests from the Estudiantes fans and prompted a reaction from the club's president, Juan Sebastián Verón.

At the end of the match, a brawl broke out between players from both teams. The Estudiantes players approached the Canalla, resulting in shoving and an intense exchange of words.

Verón, visibly upset, went down from the stands to confront Herrera and express his dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions. This was captured on video, showing his anger following his team’s defeat.

Estudiantes fans also expressed their disagreement, protesting against the referee before the match began, reflecting the tension that involved both clubs throughout the day.

The match concluded without a formal ending, as the situation turned chaotic and the Estudiantes team decided to leave the field, creating a controversial atmosphere surrounding the International Supercup.
