There are ways and means to face a farewell. Dignified and paperless. With high self-esteem or low self-love. It is not the same for this Racing to have been left without the quarterfinals, beating Belgrano 4-0 and reaching six consecutive wins. Today’s pain can be tomorrow’s joy. Gustavo Costas’ team left a seed planted. A cycle that barely reaches two months of official matches has a ceiling that for now remains very high.
Due to past mistakes, having lost against Unión, Sarmiento and Godoy Cruz, or having tied against Platense and Defensa, the Academy was eliminated from the League Cup. The team of the moment, without a doubt. The one who scores, sweeps and has in Maravilla Martínez the scorer and best player in the championship. But football does not understand times or merits.
For some, per squad, it will be Costas’ first failure. For others, understanding the short process time and the growth that he continues to show, it is only the path that sooner rather than later will return success to Avellaneda.
Racing arrived in Córdoba forced to win and hope that Boca or Defensa did not win. The Academy did its part very quickly: after 18 minutes they were already winning 2-0 with goals from Salas and Maravilla, a duo that is still on fire. At 8′, Maxi found a center behind a perfect overflow from Solari and scored the first with his left foot. At 18′, after Salas’ own shot hit the crossbar, Martínez appeared and pushed a header.
By then, Acadé had been the first to open the results. Before the close of the first half, Boca’s goal would arrive and all the attention shifted to Florencio Varela. There it cost the Falcon a little more. But Racing did not win. Newell’s had a shot hit the post and Ramos Mingo instantly headed in to give the victory to Defensa, who ended up scoring and leaving Costa’s team out.
The coach sought at all times to isolate his players. Only with Roger Martínez’s great goal to make it 3-0 did the bank begin to investigate the other fields. And they found out, of course, the bad news.
But Racing kept going. With self-love. Wanting to show that if we continue with this level it will be a matter of time to return to an Olympic lap. He said goodbye to the tournament with a great goal from Baltasar Rodríguez, also silencing the Belgrano fans who had shouted for Defensa’s goal.
What will hurt the Academy the most, without a doubt, is that they left him without the candy when he is at his best. When Costas finally found a team that he not only wins, but also surpasses and thrashes rivals. Surely for River and Boca it has been great news that Racing has not entered the table of eight, because it had the tools and bases to be one, if not the best, candidate for this Cup. But these are assumptions. The truth is that the numbers were not enough for a team that was just being formed and that its obligation was more about proper names than about work time.
The revenge, in any case, will come soon. Next week they have a Copa Sudamericana match, the highest goal this team has in 2024. And there they also started with a bang. Time to time.
