In a great match, Tigre drew in Avellaneda against Racing, who still haven’t won in the Lega Professionisti

The heat also annoys Andrés Merlos, the target of the fans who leave the cylinder full of anger. And although there is warm applause, Racing was in debt again. Not only with that result that is denied him in the Lega Professionisti, given that he barely got two points out of nine up for grabs; His game is also a pending account. Twice he got on the board and was unable to sustain it due to his irregularity. Tigre is a courageous team, showing its claws home and away, and has the best center forward in the Argentine league, Mateo Retegui. This time he missed the company of Facundo Colidio, on this colorless Sunday.

Racing went from being the most popular team for their football to winning two titles against Boca and resting on their laurels. It is a fact that Aníbal Moreno was missing, the axis in the center and that Juan Nardoni was not up to par, because he didn’t even play in his place, but Fernando Gago never managed to find a balance with the substitutions. And Diego Martínez won the fight in the middle. First with Sebastián Prediger and Lucas Menossi. Subsequently, with the contribution of Cristian Zabala and Agustín Cardozo. All players with technique and recovery. The Academy ended with Jonathan Gómez and Edwin Cardona, waiting for a miracle run by Johan Carbonero.

The first half was filled with controversy. Racing had taken the lead when Tigre was playing at its best, but there was action which warranted a VAR review and left nothing clear. In no image was it seen that the ball, deflected with the thigh by Brian Leizza after Abel Luciatti’s header, crossed the entire line. Gabriel Arias came with just enough, it’s true, but there was no evidence of the goal. AS, What did Andrés Merlos charge? A suggestion from Silvio Trucco behind a monitor?

Of course, apart from the disputed sentence, Racing will have to blame itself for having lost four times in the air. The blocked ball, performed by Alexis Castro and Menossi, was indissoluble for the Biancoceleste last line. And Tiger, with Prediger’s good maneuverability and menacing attackers, was unnerving.

The cry of Academy It starts with a long start by Gonzalo Marinelli which is recovered by Gabriel Rojas. The wing led, Maxi Moralez opened for Gabriel Hauche and the center of the devil he found Maximiliano Romero in the heart of the area. The “9”, which had been interrogated and already felt the shadow of Paolo Guerrero, went freely.

The best thing that Racing showed in the first half was Matías Rojas, leaning against the line, on the right, and stinging inside with his diagonal. The Paraguayan produced the most situations, but Marinelli always responded. Two free throws, a left from the midfield and a pass for Hauche from center forward. The goalkeeper prevailed over everyone.

It seemed in a hurry THE Academy. Beyond some connection between Moralez and the other Rojas (Gabriel), there was no good collective functioning. And a lot had to do with Nicolás Oroz’s dull first half, much more lucid in recovering the ball than in joining the creative circuit. Nor did Facundo Mura give up, who almost didn’t go on the attack and suffered for his sector.

In the second half, Martínez eliminated Blas Armoa, included Zabala, put Prediger in the cave and reorganized the team. And when he started to strengthen up front, Matías Rojas filtered a barbaric pass for Romero, the attacker opened narrowly from Marinelli and when he put the center back, Zabala on the left setback served Hauche. And the devilone hellish night, he left the visitation arch on fire.

Era a flurry out of context because Tiger was in control of the game. And then a corner, Leonardo Sigali’s rebound, a perfect header by Menossi to bring it back into the area and an internal rebound by Romero that leaves Retegui ahead of the equaliser.

In came Aaron Molinas and Cardozo, one to lead, the other to chop. It was an open game, but Tiger felt more complete. Racing had two chances and Marinelli won again. Paolo Guerrero came close to making his film debut, but handed down a holed pass from Gonzalo Piovi. In this action, the referee was right. El Matador was not inspired by Colidio, which failed under the arc. And Lucas Blondel, with an excellent round trip, finally lost it.

Tiger has left a better image. Racing does not win nor play well, the largest capital of the Gago cycle.
