Boca and Racing will define the Champions Trophy. The Academy beat Tigre at Huracán 3-2 after 0-2 at half-time, in a comeback completed in the second overtime, thanks to a heroic header from Gabriel Hauche.
In this way Gago’s team was crowned best runner-up of the year and won the opportunity to play against Boca, League Cup and League champions, in a sort of rematch for the definition of the tournament, a couple of weeks. .
It is worth mentioning that Avellaneda’s men were within a penalty of being champions but ended up falling to the River, serving the game on a plate to Xeneize, who drew on the pitch against Independiente.
The Trophy of Champions between Boca and Racing will be played on Sunday 6 at 5 pm at the Parque La Pedrera stadium in the city of Villa Mercedes, in the province of San Luis. A meeting that will define the last champion of the year before the break for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which will begin on Sunday 20.
The duel Boca vs Racing will have a special flavor given the recent history between La Ribera and the team led by Fernando Gago. In the League Cup semi-finals, the Academy was far superior to Xeneize but was eliminated on penalties. And in the League, what has been said: the last date condemned the chances of Avellaneda.
This Sunday you will find them face to face again. The team led by Hugo Ibarra could have a few more days of rest after the elimination from the Argentine Cup against the Patronato, space that will remain 10 days after a grueling season for Xeneize.
The races, for their part, will come with the close effort of this duel against the Tiger, of 120 minutes. And with the almost certain defeat of their scorer, Enzo Copetti, who was to be replaced towards the end of the first half against Matador de Victoria.
