Triumph and podium
Racing, which thus added its third consecutive victory, had the first dangerous play at 15 minutes with a counterattack that had striker Maximiliano Romero as the protagonist, although he lost the one-on-one with goalkeeper Santigo Mele.
The local left possession of the ball to “Tatengue”, but he was smart to recover it quickly and thus generate several scoring situations in favor.
The Santa Fe team handled the ball, but without significance and without being able to be vertical to bother the goalkeeper Matias Tagliamonte.
The Uruguayan goalkeeper Santiago Mele was the figure of his team because in each attack play in favor of the “Academy” he responded satisfactorily to keep his fence undefeated.
The Uruguayan coach Gustavo Munúa’s team got off to a more decisive start with chances in their favor from the start of the complement that led to the opening of the scoring after four minutes after a header by Junior Marabel that deflected off Emiliano Insúa.
The “Tatengue” became the total owner of the ball and the development of the game from there with good judgment in passing, order and offensive power against a Racing team that was confused and without ideas to reverse the rival’s initial supremacy
The lack of confidence and collective play forced coach Fernando Gago to make four changes with the aim of reversing the bad football moment of Avellaneda’s team.
The modifications of “Pintita” changed the face of the team and coincidentally Matias Rojas (Emiliano Vecchio did not work today in driving), one of those admitted, was the executor of the center that ended in the tie of Enzo Copetti when 27 minutes had elapsed.
However, that goal, although it spurred the spirit of the locals, did not clear their minds and that lack of ideas conspired against their intentions to achieve an urgent victory, before the murmur of growing dissent from their bias.
But with four minutes remaining in regular time, Carbonero appeared from the left to score his first goal in the Racing shirt with a low left-footed shot against Mele’s near post.
There the murmurs exchanged for applause, for reinforced illusion, and for the first gesture of affection for the Colombian ex Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, who had entered through the midfielder Aníbal Moreno about a quarter of an hour into the complement.
On the Union side, which has gone six dates without winning with four defeats and two draws, the question is complicated and the rumors about an end of the cycle for the Uruguayan coach Gustavo Munúa have also become more intense in the last few hours.
