The ball continues to roll in South America and with five games the curtain will come down on the second date of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. One of the most interesting duels on Thursday is the one that takes place in the Cilindro, where Racing, one of the contenders for the title, and Aucas face each other. With Uruguayan arbitration Christian Ferreyra.
Those led by Fernando Gago they took on the crossing with a clear ambition to prevail in the result from the first moment. A shot of Maximilian Romero to the crossbar alerted the fence Hernan Galindez in the initial 60 seconds and, after a deflected shot by Jonathan Gómez, Rosemary he took revenge after 11 minutes to exchange for a goal a good cross from Gabriel Rojas from the left flank. Five later, Juan Nardoni expanded differences.
The overwhelming beginning turned into the President Peron Stadium He marginalized to a minimum an opponent who never settled on the field and generated only one chance of risk through a stopped ball cleared by the goalkeeper Gabriel Arias. In the other field, every action of the host was a dagger that hurt. Crossing the half hour of play, ferreyra charged penalty by hand Luis Cangalater annulled by VARand on the shore at regulatory time he warned Paolo Guerrero with a shot contained in two times by Galindez.
A timid reaction aucas At the close of the initial stage, he exhibited the problems that could jeopardize the advantage in Avellaneda, but racing did not take note of those advances. In the second minute of the snap, Eric Castillo leaked between Leonardo Sigali and Facundo Mura to finalize the discount with a crossed left foot against Arias’ left barrel. His defensive shortcomings shone again in their full splendor with a free kick from midfield that caught the defense off guard and canga sealed partial equality after nine minutes.
The Academyalthough he has gone three games without victories in the Professional League (two losses in a row against Gimnasia and Newell’s and one tie in the classic against Independiente), which relegated him from the vanguard positions in the local tournament, he began his journey on the plane international with a smile when winning his visit to Chile to face Ñublense.
For this commitment, Gago could not count on Matías Rojas, one of the main figures of the team, and for this reason, in the midfield he opted for Tomás Avilés, Jonathan Gómez and Juan Nardoni.
The visit, for its part, arrives in tune with this commitment by accumulating an undefeated record of five games and three wins in a row, which allowed it to come close to third place in the Pro League of its country and give one of the main goals in the that goes from the competition to win at home by 2 to 1 to Flamengo, champion of the last edition of the tournament.
