Racing took advantage of the weak Aldosivi and returned to win, like and score

The cylinder lives strong emotions. Nery Domínguez says goodbye, that he came across the street to be champion and won a standing ovation. There is sadness for the benchmark leaving the club, but a joy that contradicts the moment. Racing he found himself with the victory and with his best levell, what had pushed him to the recognition of all Argentine football and which began to fade, precisely, after the last time he faced Aldosivi. 5-0 also that evening of the League Cup quarter-finals. Then came the punches and eliminations. With Boca on penalties, with the Uruguayan River in South America and with Agropecuario in the Argentine Cup. Perhaps this victory, with the same result and against the same rival in Mar del Plata, will have the opposite effect. Maybe that’s the starting point. changed the Academy. She showed another face. Will he be able to sustain this performance in the future?

It was about being direct, about stopping going around the ball so much. And although Fernando Gago’s proposal is linked to the development of the game through a good number of passes, Racing has managed to exploit its strength with two long deliveries. Y in two burstsright at the end of the first half, he takes the lead and justifies the difference in hierarchy, beyond the will and commitment of Aldosivi.

There have been two essential changes. One in the previous and another during the game. The first concerned the entry of Emiliano Vecchio and the departure of Edwin Cardona. The second, with the rotation of positions between Tomás Chancalay and Johan Carbonero.

With similar characteristics, old hooks transformed into home midfielders in modern football, Vecchio was concerned about making a good preseason after his departure from Rosario Central and gives much more dynamism to the collective operation. In addition to his physical condition, Cardona slows down the game. And from the intelligence and category of Rosario, The races had a guide. Which has found variants to feed Eugenio Mena in his projections on the left, to be associated with Leonel Miranda, to open when the field had to be enlarged and to deepen when he tried to hurt the center. The Colombian is far from making that offer to his comrades.

Carbonero, meanwhile, started from the left, where he presented himself in Gymnastics. Quick to exploit spaces, skilled and dribbler. But his presence in that sector has had a weak offset from Chancalay to the other extreme. The man from Entre Ríos feels much more comfortable with the changed profile. And they all ended badly on the right, despite his right. Gago noticed this situation and after half an hour they changed points.

The game dominated, but was unable to weigh in against an opponent with tight lines and teeth. Who closed with five in the background and tried to hurt with the speed of Braian Martínez, the maneuverability of Leandro Maciel and the presence of Santiago Silva. Aldosivi fought.

Until the arrival of Leonardo Sigali’s frontal ball, the hasty rejection of Mario López Quintana by Enzo Copetti and the bomb of Vecchio, unattainable for José Devecchi. And almost out of breath, the second came. The one born in a corner of Aldosivi –Sigali headed a shot by Tomás Martínez; earlier he had had a large cross in front of Maciel, which Vecchio envisioned in a crescent. Chancalay picks up, tackles the line, hooks in and inserts a barbaric change of attack that Copetti pierces over the head of the Corrientes goalkeeper.

Vecchio did everything right. And he showed his lights again in the third goal. Mena opens for Chancalay, the center returns, Sigali from behind plays with the Magnate and on the return leaves the central defender outlined to define with the left. The game seemed to be settled after the first half, not to mention at that point, with the 3-0 consummated.

Gago has chosen to move the bank. Gabriel Hauche and Nery Domínguez entered first. Jonathan Gómez and Maxi Romero, after. Silva got the discount, but his shot hit the crossbar. And immediately Gómez played for Hauche, the Demon put the center and Romero headed, covered Devecchi and Rufino Lucero, in his desire to clean up, put him in the own goal.

There was rest for another, for another great goal, a fantastic play by Gómez who received a barbaric touch from Romero, and defined Messi, that nickname he earned for his physical similarity.

It was a happy night in Avellaneda, as in most of the first semester. Time will tell if this is the start of something good.
