Marco Ruben had a movie comeback in Rosario Central. The scoundrel idol, who had retired from the club in 2022, once again put on the shirt of his loves and was decisive against Lanús. At 48 minutes into the second half, he scored the 1-1 tie that would later be final. The legend continues!
Ruben entered at 69′ to replace Modica, with the match 0-1. Russo sent him to the court to look for a tie in a match that was going awry and it was he, who else?, who was in charge of bringing equality and unleashing madness in Arroyito. When the party was dying, He made a barbaric half turn in the area and sent it to save against a first post, after a run over by Giaccone. In the stands, the fans clapped their hands in applause and that ovation that the forward must have dreamed of so many times while he was away from Rosario rang out again.
With this much, Ruben reached 106 goals with the Central shirt (record in the history of the institution), in 263 matches played.
The story of Ruben’s return
The idol had retired as a professional player with the Rosario Central shirt and at Gigante de Arroyito on May 7, 2022. However, in November of last year and at the age of 37, he decided to put on his boots again to play for Deportivo Maldonado from the First Division of Uruguay (13 games and three goals).
For a few weeks, the rumor of his (second) return had been gaining strength in Arroyito and it finally materialized this Sunday. And how! Ruben, champion of the 2018 Argentine Cup with the club, will be a luxury reinforcement for Russo’s team, which this Monday will meet its playoff rival in the Copa Sudamericana.
