Argentine veteran Di Maria returned to his old club Rosario Central Team after 18 years away from Argentina, played in the first game for his old club, and immediately scored in the A League in the early morning of Sunday (13th). Unfortunately, he left the game with an injury at the end of the game. Rosario Central was tied 1-1 by Godoy Cruz (Gerdurgus) in stoppage time of this game.

Di Maria had left the team freely after playing for the Club World Cup group stage for Benfica (Binfiga) and joined Rosario Central. In this A League, the AFC attack became the first shot for Di Maria to return to her old club. More than 40,000 fans entered the court to see Di Maria's on-court style. Rosario Central also arranged a simple welcome ceremony for Di Maria. Everyone in the audience applauded and cheered the 37-year-old winger. The scene moved Di Maria very much and her eyes were wet.

Di Maria started as the main player and took a penalty of 12 yards into the net in the 78th minute of the game. After 18 years, he scored a goal for Rosario Central again. He was very excited at the time and cried with joy.

However, the good times did not last long. Di Maria was injured and left the court in the 89th minute of this game and needed to be transported away by a stretcher. Di Maria also covered her face and cried bitterly, as if she was seriously injured. This was also Di Maria's third crying in this game. The misfortune never came alone. Rosario Central's fifth point in stoppage time was tied 1-1 by Godoy Cruise, losing almost three-pointers.
