Hot cross between Fernando Gago and César Farías in the Cilindro de Avellaneda: “See you outside”

The match at the Cilindro de Avellaneda looked favorable for Racing: after an excellent first half, it went 2-0 at half-time with goals from Maxi Romero and Ignacio Nardoni. But in the complement the lead vanished and Aucas equalized in just 11 minutes. For La Academia the weight of the match was too much and the pressure from the public had a negative impact on Fernando Gago’s team.

But not only the players felt the pinch, the coach was also very nervous and was the protagonist of a heated exchange with the Venezuelan César Farías, technical director of Aucas.

29 minutes into the run, Maxi Moralez flooded down the right and sent in a low cross that hit Luis Cangá and went for a corner. So far so good, but from the VAR they called the referee to review the play: it is that Frasquito trampled his rival after releasing the pass and the Uruguayan Christian Ferreyra had to review the play on the monitor (then he decided to send off the racing player).

In the midst of this stoppage of play, the Venezuelan coach went to claim the fourth referee for the play. And Gago also entered the scene. The Racing man put a hand on his colleague’s shoulder, but it wasn’t a friendly gesture. Farías didn’t like it at all and he severed his arm in a furious gesture. “Don’t touch me,” he snapped.

Gago looked at him from his area, in disbelief. And then he invited him to fight: “See you outside,” I challenge him. Five minutes later, Wílker Ángel scored an incredible goal against and Gago screamed it with everything.
