Following the victory, Racing was in sixth place with five units, while the “Bicho” remains with six points and fourth in the table.
The start of the game had the visiting team as the protagonist with their team launched into the attack, with approaches close to the “albiceleste” goal, although without bothering Gastón “Chila” Gómez.
But little by little the local settled in the field, became the owner of the midfield, although without shining, and imposed their conditions with the speed of Gabriel Hauche in attack.
At 18 minutes, a clearance by Colombian Edwin Cardona left Javier Correa alone, who defined with excellence before the quick exit of goalkeeper Nahuel Lanzilotta, to convert his seventh goal with the “albiceleste” shirt.
After the goal, the performance of Cardona and Carlos Alcaraz increased in the creation of the game and at 29 minutes the “Demon” Hauche had the chance to increase the difference, but the goalkeeper Lanzilotta avoided it with a good intervention with his foot.
The team led by Gabriel Milito had no answers to try to achieve equality, but nevertheless, at 37 minutes, striker Gabriel Ávalos went hand in hand with “Chila” Gómez, who won the duel to keep his goal at zero.
The “Academy”, which dominated much of the first stage, could have achieved a second goal thanks to the actions of the admitted Enzo Copetti (he did it in replacement of the striker Correa), who was mobile and as a reference in the area.
The beginning of the second stage once again showed Fernando Gago’s team as the protagonist of the game, with a marked solidity in the midfield and with the intention of wanting to add another goal.
In the eighth minute, midfielder Carlos Alcaraz headed in a corner kick taken by Tomás Chancalay from the right to score his team’s second goal.
With the difference of two goals in their favour, those led by Gago continued to handle the ball calmly and with authority against an unknown “Bicho” without ideas, and created several chances such as the one in which they got the third goal with a goal by Enzo Copetti At 19 minutes, after a heel by Hauche (he was badly beaten by his former teammates from Argentinos, showing that he did not get away well from there), the figure of the match.
The rest of the match continued with Racing as the clear dominator, with dangerous plays in their favor in the face of the passivity of the team from La Paternal, who had their leading figure in their goalkeeper and also suffered their first defeat of the tournament.
The admitted midfielder Jonatan Gómez, also a former Argentinos Juniors, was also mistreated by his former teammates.
In the La Paternal team, which will receive San Lorenzo the next day, the today injured goalkeeper Lucas Chávez renewed his contract until 2025. For its part, Racing, where Edwin Cardona suffered “a slight contracture”, will face River Plate at the Monumental for matchday four, and for that match their fans have already demanded of the “academic” players that “whatever it takes, the Sunday you have to win”.
