With several casualties due to penalties and injuries, Racing received to River Plate from Uruguay in it Avellaneda cylinder with the mission of sealing their tickets to the round of 16 of the South American Cup. Without taking unnecessary risks, the set of Fernando Gago The duel began with the desire to impose the seal that characterizes him, but with caution to avoid surprise. A plan that did not work out.

The presence of Edwin Cardona down the left flank and Thomas Chancalay on the right represented the strongest arguments of the homeowner to open the scoring, although the clearest was conceived by the Lolo Miranda after recovering in his field and sending a sharp ball for the escape of Xavier Correa. The ex Colón stood hand in hand in front of Fabrizio Correa, opened his foot and resolved with a deflected shot. Just because of the misdefinition of the substitute for Enzo Copetti the shock remained even.

Another faulty header from Correa that went over the crossbar and a quick diagonal of Carlos Alcaraz what did you find Cardona were other actions that deserved to conclude in the network of the Uruguayan arc. Both the lack of effectiveness of the striker, and the misfortune of Charlykept alive the cast led by Gustavo Diaz.

In half an hour Racing he had already shown that he was superior. The offensive triangulations that included the technique of the Colombian midfielder, the projections of Eugenio Mena and the speed of Jonathan Gómez they continued to dismantle the last line charrúa. Another option came after a beautiful pipe from Chueco that left the former Argentines in front of the goalkeeper, but Fabrizio Correa intervened again to keep the zero.

Before the arrival of the break Xavier Correa he wasted another two chances that would have brought peace to President Perón. The first was after a large shipment of alcaraz that he squandered for the far post; and the second with another shot that hit the outer face of the net. The tie had a justification in the terrible night of Cordoba.

In the complement the striker changed his boots, but his performance continued under a disapproval based on the number of wasted situations. Even the panorama could be much darker for Racing and Matias Ocampo I would not have squandered a perfect counterattack that died in the gloves of Matias Tagliamonte. The advancement of the steering wheel that replaced Paul Lopez It was a warning to those Fernando Gago. A risk similar to the one that took Thiago Borbas with a violent shot to the near post that the goalkeeper knew how to master.

The alarms did not generate the necessary reaction in the men of Racing y Horace Salaberry silenced the Cylinder when he celebrated the inexplicable 1 a 0 of the combined charrúa. The only positive variable that reached Avellaneda was the goal scored by Cuiaba in Peru ante Melgarsince the win inca left the Academia outside of the competition.

However, in Arequipa Melgar He did the job of sealing his victory and finalized the continental surprise. On the day the contract was renewed Fernando Gago until December 2023, Racing He was left out of one of his main goals of the season. The understatement was a very high price. And the offensive deficiencies in the attack marked the black night in the Cylinder. Perhaps with a 9 of hierarchy the result would have been different.
