In an unusual game, with dancing in the first half and suffering in the second half, the Academy won 3-2 and leads only Group A.
Once again, one game is enough to show why the Copa Libertadores is a game with an abundance of passion. And it was in the Cilindro de Avellaneda where Racing and Aucas went through all weather conditions and it was the homeowner who finally celebrated for a win that took them to the top of Group A and brought them very close to qualifying for the next stage.
Those who have only seen the first half will think that Racing won easily, thrashed and their fans left jubilantly for football. But the game lasts 90 minutes and the distractions in the second half, added to a less controversial decision by the referee, gave him the emotion that later turned into relief when Ángel, not noticing that the goalkeeper was in full swing, against his goal headlined. .
In the first fifteen minutes, the performance of the Academy was overwhelming: it came from all sides, although the goals of Romero and Nardoni hurt on the left. And there could be many more, but an already sanctioned penalty was later canceled by VAR and Paolo Guerrero was unable to extend the lead without a goal.
The second half looked like a nightmare, however, as Castillo took the ball violently and untouchable for Arias and minutes later a free kick that seemed to end long with a cross behind and Cangá head for 2-2. Were there more? The incredible red card for Moralez as he left his foot off a cross, hit his marker’s ankle and the judge, via VAR, considered an iron shot.
With one down and a lot of frustration, Racing didn’t know how to get there, but Ángel provided valuable help heading his own goal for the final 3-2 and 6 of 6 in a group where Flamengo, the next rival, wants to start with the imposition of his defending champion badge
