Afterward, the game settled into a lull, as it became a midfield battle on a pitch that was beginning to show imperfections due to the rain that had fallen on Córdoba in the preceding days. In this game of imprecision, the Rosario team had their chances from set pieces, first, a long pass from the left by Franco Cervi was headed in by Marco Ruben (the goal was disallowed by assistant referee Marcelo Aumente because Marcelo Larrondo was offside), sparking controversy and the subsequent expulsion of manager Eduardo Coudet. A few minutes later, another pass from Walter Montoya, this time from the right, found defender Javier Pinola unmarked, but he headed it over the bar. Boca Juniors pressed hard in the closing stages of the first 45 minutes, with the power and fighting spirit of Carlos Tevez, but they were consistently thwarted by Rosario Central's solid defense. Second half thumb|130px|Nicolás Lodeiro scored the first goal for Boca Juniors In the second half, Boca Juniors started stronger and Ceballos awarded them a penalty kick after eight minutes for a foul on Gino Peruzzi that –according to the media– occurred almost a meter outside the penalty area. Rosario Central's justified protests were in vain, as the referee didn't reverse his decisionUna vergüenza: Boca le ganó a Rosario Central por dos goles ilícitos y dio una nueva vuelta at infobae.com, 4 Nov 2015 so Uruguayan midfielder Nicolás Lodeiro took the penalty, placing the ball perfectly inside the right post, while goalkeeper Manuel García dived the other side. Boca could have sealed the victory on a couple of occasions through Rodrigo Bentancur, but the Uruguayan failed to capitalize. On the other hand, Rosario Central refused to give up. Despite the controversial rulings by Ceballos, they never stopped attacking and circulating the ball, although the minutes ticked by and luck seemed to be against them. Then, in additional time, another controversial incident occurred: Andrés Chávez, in an offside position, received a pass from Marcelo Meli on the right and tapped it into the net. The entire Rosario Central team believed the goal would be disallowed for offside. However, the referee pointed to the center circle to allow the goal, making it 2–0. Seconds before the end of the game, defender Javier Pinola was sent off after a hard foul on Chávez.
