Racing continues to go through the curse of the classic. After having beaten Independiente, he could not do it again. They tied with Platense in Vicente López, lost with Sarmiento in Avellaneda and with Boca in La Bombonera and this Saturday they again tied 1 to 1 with Defensa y Justicia in the Cilindro de Avellaneda. In a match where They were down again on the scoreboard and were only able to equalize 41 minutes into the second stage with a great goal from a free kick by Colombian Juan Fernando Quintero. After referee Darío Herrera annulled two goals in the complement: one to Adrián Martínez and another to Santiago Sosa.
A loud whistle from their fans stopped rewarding the effort that the Academy made to reach the tie and punished a campaign that did not conform. The team led by Gustavo Costas has 15 points and was three behind Newell’s, the last classified from zone B to the quarterfinals. Defense, with 17 units, is one behind the Rosario team and the fight to enter continues.
After an intense first half and back and forth, in the second half all the emotions happened together: after ten minutes, Martínez had converted for Racing but the referee annulled it due to Salas’ offside when sending the center from the left. Eight minutes later, Togni launched a cross from the left and Ramos Mingo, again with a header into the Racinguista area, put Defensa ahead on the scoreboard.
Two minutes later, Sosa had tied but Herrera invalidated it due to a push from Martínez to Soto. When the Cylinder was a bonfire of screams and anxiety, At 41, Quintero masterfully executed a free kick from outside the area and nailed the ball next to Fiermarín’s right post. But he could not calm the impatience of the fans who ended up booing the team as if none of this had happened.
