In the early morning of July 13, in the first round of Ah A, Rosario Central faced Godo Iclus at home. Di Maria made her debut after her return and scored a goal in the game to help the team draw 1-1 with her opponent. However, this game was a mixed emotional experience for the Argentine star - he experienced excitement, joy, pain and regret in just 90 minutes. Before the start of the game, when Di Maria walked out of the player channel and stepped onto the home court of his childhood team Rosario Central, the fans responded with warm applause and cheers. Faced with this long-lost and sincere enthusiasm, the "angel" couldn't help but burst into tears, and the scene was deeply touching.

This touch quickly turned into motivation on the field. In the 78th minute of the game, Di Maria took the penalty and scored the first record for the team. Seeing that the return battle was about to end successfully, the accident came unexpectedly in the 89th minute. Di Maria was unable to persevere due to injury and was replaced with tears. What's even more heartbreaking is that in the 90th and 7th minute of injury time, Rosario Central was tied by his opponent, and the score was finally frozen at 1-1.

This is the first time Di Maria has played for Rosario Central for the official match since her 18-year European career. He has played for Benfica, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, with numerous honors. Although he has always been concerned about his hometown team for many years, he has been unable to return due to frequent drug violence in his hometown city Rosario, and has been threatened by the life of the violent gang. Now, the veteran is finally back.

"I have not considered retirement yet. I just want to play football, enjoy the game, and give my all to Rosario Central." Di Maria said firmly after the game.

Regarding his injury, Di Maria said after the game that the problem was not serious. He was just kicked by his opponent in his ankle, which would not affect his continued appearance.
