It was a special day and it was crossed by emotions in every corner of the Cylinder. A symbol has passed away, the monkey to take over the world with a legendary shoe. And there was Lisandro, the last idol, with a shirt foreign in colors that pushed him to the pedestal. Racing plays heart on foot, but Sarmiento was not willing to be merciful. And he shakes it to unexpected purpose. And he suggests an uncomfortable fight. Until she was left alone by a man. And it even turned away. It’s a matter of unlocking a duel worthy of a tie. Enzo Copetti did it. And then, everything is easier for Academy.

From a defeat that had little to do with the development of the game, Sarmiento ended up losing to Racing. For the belief of his players, who are not discouraged despite the green bus parked by Israel Damonte in front of Josué Ayala. And that they did not fail at every rejection of the defenders who came from Junín. With the changes, Eugenio Mena at the start of the second half and Jonatan Gómez at the last stretch, he was able to break his rival. and Fernando Gago began to show his hand as a technicianincreasingly standing on the blue and white bank after the start of the cycle with reasonable questioning.

The end of the first half ended with a penalty charged by Fernando Rapallini, who backtracked by using VAR –The ball hit the elbow of Federico Rasmussen who took his arm when Carlos Alcaraz finished-, but it was a testament to the progress of the game against Avellaneda. In other words, most of those forty -five minutes were played on the Sarmiento field. And if Karera didn’t get a goal at the time, it was because of their lack of caliber and specific weight in the Ayala area with many green footballers close to their goalkeeper.

Ang Academy He showed the repertoire that led him to first place in the Professional League Cup: possession of the ball, perseverance to thrive on the inside and imbalance on the outside with the ascents of Facundo Mura and the speed of Gabriel Hauche. Yes, he attacked more on the right than on the left, where Tomás Chancalay didn’t get hurt with his diagonal and Gonzalo Piovi didn’t find an overflow.

The race is not good, although Sarmiento had a great deal to do with it, Mozart and Corbatta reached out to a conservative approach which he took without shame. Ultimately, each method is valid. He started from 4-2-3-1, but outside midfielders Guido Mainero and Julián Brea, and even Lisandro himself, came together to cut the circuits.

The visiting players were tired of sending balls into the corner, but Racing didn’t know how to take advantage of it – they had an eight -corner kick – and punished Sarmiento on the first approach. Emiliano Méndez opened to the right, Gonzalo Bettini overflowed and Lisandro combed the middle almost shed, marked by Mura. Behind the edge was only Brea, who hooked inside and hit an unreachable right hand for Gastón Gómez.

The key may be Carlos Alcaraz, who every time he faces, wins the individual duel. O Hauche, who played with Chancalay, found the return from Entre Ríos and ended up with his left foot. Ayala waved at the crossbar. Leonel Miranda did not show up, losing to opposing midfielders. It was an uncomfortable first half for Racing.

And Gago reached out. He gave Mena a flight to go deeper. And Sarmiento took a dangerous path: he always played behind the ball line. That is why Jonatan Torres was neglected in his grief. And although he barely attacks, he gets stuck hard in a counterattack and has one play that changes the game: the expulsion of Mainero. Mura refused for a long time, Harrison Mancilla made a mistake, Miranda turned on Chancalay and lowered her steering wheel from behind. While he cuts through a clear scoring situation, Rapallini perfectly applied the regulations.

The race came, but was not specified. Javier Correa was already in court, there was still a flyer left and Aníbal Moreno came out. Then, Mura accompanies Miranda – who raises her level – and goes for the return. He hooked, put the middle of his left foot and Copetti headed to tie.

There’s still time to win a match that, at that point, deserves Racing. Gago noticed he needed more volume to play and sent Jonatan Gómez to the field. And the steering wheel was the key to play with Miranda and get into the place. Méndez opened his arm and there was no more VAR to rescue Sarmiento. Chancalay’s punishment and purpose are clear.

And eventually, there was an explosion that gave a fairer tenor to the result. Gómez quickened, dribbled to two rivals and played outside for Chancalay, the man from Entre Ríos put in the middle and Copetti headed from the pitch to the lawn and made it 3 to 1. And after a while , Correa’s great goal came. So fans are excited about a shout that hasn’t been heard on Cylinder in a long time: “We want to see you champion.” Pointer, invincible, with clear identification. There are many reasons to dream big.
