Rosario's fans were returning on two buses from Buenos Aires to Rosario after seeing their team fall 2-0 to Banfield in the capital.
Rosario has been improving since the arrival of new manager Leonardo Astrada, moving from regular losses in domestic and international competition to three consecutive draws.
Central is third from bottom in the tournament and is also playing in Group 7 of the Libertadores Cup, where it has lost two days in a row: 0-1 against Colombia’s Atletico Nacional and 0-2 against Paraguay’s Cerro Porteno.
Rosario Central - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (470 words)
Rosario Central won the Nacional championship in 1971 and again in 1973; the latter was the first of many such achievements by coach Carlos Timoteo Griguol.
Rosario Central plays in the Gigante de Arroyito stadium, located in the confluence of Avellaneda Boulevard and Génova Avenue, in the Lisandro de la Torre neighborhood (popularly known as Arroyito), in north-east Rosario.
Central's common nickname is canallas ("scoundrels", which is a rather mild insult in Argentina) because they refused to play a charity match for a leprosy clinic back in the 1920s; rival side Newell's acquired its leprosos (lepers) nickname when they did play in that event.
