Racing beat La Luz 3-1 in Fray Bentos for the eighth date of the Apertura Tournament, in a duel of direct rivals for permanence, and shares ninth place with Plaza Colonia with 10 points.
Sayago’s team took a few minutes to settle the lawsuit. At 9′ he was already ahead due to a good definition by Luis Gorocito first in the area after a partial clearance by Santiago Carrera.
Gorocito increased at 18′ with a great header, capitalizing on Agustín Alaniz’s cross from the right, and completed his hat-trick with a penalty at 23′.
Gorocito committed a penalty that was awarded at the request of the VAR on Nicolás Royón, but Royín himself took over the execution at 29′ and his right cross hit the vertical.
At 66′ Gorocito caressed poker in a counterattack that ended up defining hand in hand, although required, with goalkeeper Ramiro Méndez, who won that duel.
A couple of minutes later Ignacio Pallas’s team discounted, when Nicolás Schiappacasse took advantage of a clash between Racing defenders, stopped the ball on his chest and defined from the right.
At 89′ the Argentinian Ariel Cabral was sent off for a hard iron on Emiliano Ancheta.
