The Academy lost again at home and avoided victory with the clean and jerk at the end, but it wasn’t enough for more than the cut.
Once again, the whistles are converted to the ambient sound of the Cilindro de Avellaneda in a match valid for the Professional League Tournament, which it seems to say goodbye with half a championship to go. Racing lost its second straight game at home and its third on four dates, with a lackluster image that seems to be a constant in 2023 and too late to change it.
Atlético Tucumán arrived and needed wins to raise the average and move away from the bottom of the table in this double fight to avoid relegation. And with no wins other than Jose Fierro, Pusineri’s team went ahead with its well-rehearsed script: wait for the Academy to pay the bills and strike back, which went perfectly.
With an unrehearsed schedule, few youth players and several players out of their positions, Racing could never dominate and then came the unexpected mistake of Gabriel Arias, one of their figures, who offered little resistance to Adrián Sánchez’ volley shot. .
The second half was an instant test for the locals, as Ortiz won with a header to extend the difference and Estigarribia, in a run of 50 yards, evaded the goalkeeper and defined with an empty goal. Just towards the end and with the defeat accomplished, he got the discount with a header from Romero, minutes after the goal against Paolo Guerrero that was annulled.
After 13 dates, Racing is 15 points behind River and, worst of all, without a footballing direction, beyond the two wins in the Copa Libertadores that keep at least some of the peace in the half best passing Avellaneda.
