Matías Exequiel Roskopf (born 14 January 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Uruguayan club Central Español.

Club career[edit]

Boca Juniors[edit]

Roskopf started out in the youth ranks of Colón in 2007, prior to joining Boca Juniors five years later.[2] In 2018, Roskopf joined Uruguayan Primera División side Torque on loan.[1][3] He made his professional debut on 3 February, coming on as a second-half substitute against Nacional as Torque lost 2–4.[1] He made his first start on 28 March against Boston River, which was followed by Roskopf scoring the first goals of his senior career in his next start during a 2–0 win over Peñarol on 31 March.[1][4][5] He returned to Boca in December after twenty-five games and three goals as Torque were relegated.[1]

Hermannstadt[edit]

Roskopf joined Romania's Hermannstadt in 2019.[6][7] Roskopf was unable to appear for Hermannstadt in 2018–19 due to registration issues, after the club discovered he didn't have the required paperwork; with the forward subsequently applying for Italian citizenship whilst under contract.[8]

Rapid București[edit]

However, in May 2019, Roskopf signed an agreement to join newly promoted Liga II side Rapid București for 2019–20.[9][10][11] His bow arrived on 20 August in a 3–1 loss to Turris Turnu Măgurele, while his first goal came on 1 September versus CSM Reșița.[1] He departed after three goals in seventeen matches.[1]

Apollon Limassol[edit]

In January 2020, Roskopf agreed a move to Cyprus with Apollon Limassol.[12] He appeared for his debut on 9 February against Enosis Neon Paralimni, participating for thirty-three minutes of a one-goal home defeat.[1] That was his sole appearance in the First Division, in a season that was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic one month later.[1]

Universitatea Cluj[edit]

On 22 August, Roskopf sealed a return to Romanian football with Liga II outfit Universitatea Cluj.[13] After just one start from three appearances, he mutually terminated his contract on 1 November - with the Cluj-Napoca club claiming a return to Boca Juniors was in the pipeline, though that never materialized.[14]

Cavalry FC[edit]

On 30 December 2020, Roskopf signed with Canadian Premier League side Cavalry FC.[15] However, due to issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic preventing Roskopf from being able to join the team due to travel restrictions, they mutually agreed to terminate the contract on 15 April 2021 to allow Roskopf to join a new club.[16]

Central Español[edit]

On 24 April 2021, Roskopf signed with Uruguayan Segunda División side Central Español.[17]

International career[edit]

In 2015, Roskopf represented Argentina at the 2015 South American U-17 Championship and 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[1] He scored once in seven matches at the U17 Championship in Paraguay, which preceded three appearances at the subsequent U17 World Cup in Chile.[1] He had previously featured for the U15s, notably at the 2013 South American U-15 Championship, whilst also training against the senior squad before the 2015 Copa América.[2][18][19]
