The races have drawn again but this time against Barracas they have taken a point that ends up being a bargain

The ball ends up in the power of Barracas Central and this time there is no controversy. Not even the intervention of the VAR. Racing has no excuses. Despite the difference in hierarchy and a squad ten times more coveted, in the afternoon he undoes Floresta.

Overwhelmed by a rival who imposes conditions for his intensity in recovery. Therefore, he relies on the hands of his archer. Yes, Gastón Gómez, the same one who left the Tigre alive a week ago for a typical mistake in a dive in the woods of Palermo, this time he shows firmness in every intervention. And the balance, plus a second time in which the Academy could lose it is negative. In the title fight, he again lost points along the way. Just when the episode had fallen, Atlético Tucumán, shortly before in Sarandí. It was their fourth draw in five dates.

Racing proposes, Barracas Central awaits. So what was expected was a duel of styles. And although there were no winners in the first half, the trend was already beginning to favor locals. why the Academy he met a rival who was occupying spaces, who gave him an assignment, but did not allow him to play his game. Then, it all switched to crosses from Gonzalo Piovi or Lucas Orban from left to right to try to surprise with the overflow of Iván Pillud or the diagonal of Matías Rojas. Or the long expeditions of the central defenders for the raid of Gabriel Hauche or Maxi Romero when Guapo left.

In this context, Barracas Central he made up for his lack of brilliance with order, effort, and a great fight in between. He won with his two central midfielders, Facundo Mater and Carlos Arce. And he complicated set pieces because he has a good player, Iván Tapia, and aerial power with Nicolás Ferreyra. The clearer, moreover, was the header of the central scorer who received a cross from Brian Blasi coming out of a corner kick and forced Gómez to a remarkable response.

The run, despite its dominance with the ball, failed to consistently unbalance. Against Maxi Gagliardo’s goal he generated two chances and the goalkeeper was lucid. First, to fly and slap a Hauche blast of air; later, to cleverly reduce to one-on-one against Romero, who received a pass from Carlos Alcaraz, he entered the box well trodden, but was unable to against veteran number one.

In the second half, The performance in blue and white was much worse. Barracas won the divisions and got excited. Racing found no variants in the game. Alcaraz turned off, chose to do without the midfielder and focused on another winger, Johan Carbonero. He had the goal at the feet of Rojas, when Hauche enables Piovi, the center goes back and at the far post the Paraguayan makes himself tremble with his right. And again Gagliardo covered.

However, it was an isolated move. What followed was a preponderance of Barracas. Behind Carbonero, in front of Piovi, there were some gaps. And this is where Pablo Mouche leaked to put the diagonal and assist Mater, who was beautiful and was not Colmán’s goal because Pillud had anticipated on the line. Mater returns to the box and Chila Gómez blocks Tapia. and the son of Chiqui Colmán enabled, but once again the man from Mar del Plata won against the Paraguayan. Chila Gómez also took an aimed free kick in the corner from Tapia himself.

The income of Tomás Chancalay and Jonathan Gómez -later- did not affect. Why didn’t you look for the overflow on the outside, since there was little room for the diagonals? Sergio Ramos reloaded the attack with Bruno Sepúlveda. Gago lacked a plan B to beat Barracas. He ended up saving his goalkeeper. Perhaps it was his best decision: to support the chiladespite his failure against Tigre, when Gabriel Arias was at his disposal, a starter who left his position due to injury.

Noted the absence of Enzo Copetti. A physical footballer who preferred to be reprimanded for playing against Boca. His replacement (Romero) did not weigh. And it was an error of assessment. After all, the most important match is the one in front.
