The “Pattern” continues with seven units and in twelfth place, and is last in the table of averages for relegation.

Patronato began the game with ball control, something that he maintained in several sections of the first stage.

Those led by DT Facundo Sava attacked from the sides with the constant rises of the side Raúl Lozano and also reached the rival area with several players to try to bother the goalkeeper Gastón Gómez.

The “Academy”, with an alternative team, could not impose its usual game, although it was forceful in the rival area.

A precise clearance by Nery Domínguez from midfield was used by striker Javier Correa to open the scoring on the first dangerous move in favor at 8min.

Five minutes after the “albiceleste” team’s goal, the local team equalized after a ball that Jonathan Herrera could not control in the area and that was left to Nicolás Castro to define with power against the weak response of goalkeeper “Chila” Gómez.

Racing grew a bit in terms of game creation, while the locals also remained firm and with the idea of ​​going to find the rival goal.

After a controversial penalty charged by referee Facundo Tello, Paraguayan midfielder Matías Rojas put his team ahead in the 39th minute to go into the break with the victory in his possession.

However, before the break the team from “Colorado” Sava (he was expelled for protesting) had new chances, although without being effective.

At the beginning of the second stage, the visit came out with greater conviction regarding the generation of play. And another shot from the field itself -again from Nery Domínguez- was again capitalized on by Correa from Córdoba to increase the difference for those led by Gago.

The 3-1 in favor allowed La Academia to manage the match process calmly, with good circulation of the ball and with their team standing in the field of a Board of Trustees that felt the blow of the three goals.

But a mistake in Edwin Cardona’s exit allowed the local to discount near the end, a situation that left the result open until the end of the game. But Racing, who suffered the expulsion of Lucas Orban, knew how to hold on and celebrated.

On the next day (12th.) Racing will host Newell’s Old Boya, while the Patronato will visit San Lorenzo de Almagro.
