Gimnasia surpassed Racing, for date 10 of the Professional League Tournament, after the fall in the week, against Universitario de Perú for the Copa Sudamericana.
In a vibrant clash in the Forest, the locals won 3-1 and achieved a key victory to take off from the bottom positions, while for Avellaneda’s team the defeat distanced them a bit from the fight for the lead in the championship .
However, in addition to the result, Racing suffered another blow due to the injury of Colombian Edwin Cardona.
The Colombian starred in a play that could have left him out of the game due to expulsion. At minute 28 he went to dispute the ball with Bautista Barros Schelotto and hit the opposing defender hard.
Due to the impact, Cardona could not cope with the pain in his right ankle and was replaced a few minutes later by Matías Rojas.
On his way to the substitute bench, he was seen in a lot of pain and his eyes full of tears. Then, he loaded his teammate Matías Tagliamonte on a “horse” to leave the field.
