Javier Correa and Matías Rojas, both in the second half, were the scorers for the “Academia”, which with three points got into the qualifying zone for the Copa Sudamericana.
Atlético Tucumán, on the other hand, lost practically every chance of reaching the positions of continental tournaments.
The two were looking for the first victory with their new coach: Atlético Tucumán accumulated two draws and one fall since Pablo Guiñazú replaced Omar de Felippe, and Racing had two consecutive defeats at the hands of Gago, who arrived to end the interim term of Claudio Úbeda (He had replaced Juan Pizzi).
It seemed to both of them that responsibility weighed on him. The first half was worse than discreet and there were no chances of real risk.
The “Dean” approached with a shot from Carrera that went over the crossbar and a right cross from Acosta, barely deflected. Racing responded with a shot by Rojas from the edge of the large area that Lucchetti held down. Nothing more.
The second half was something else. It started with rhythm and ambitions of both. Atlético had it, with a header from Menéndez, and in the response Racing billed twice.
First at 14m: Copetti sent a cross from the right, Mena carried the ball to the center of the area and Correa, with a good swing, beat Lucchetti and made it 1 to 0.
The second came immediately, at 17m, when Rojas tried to shoot a cross from the left and the ball ended up getting into the far post of the local goal. Unexpected and exaggerated, the 2 to 0 in favor of the “Academy”. And the whole of Tucumán felt the blow.
Guiñazú’s team had nothing but their will to try the discount and it hardly disturbed Arias.
Racing managed the game times, had some counter-attack options to increase the difference (the clearest were a shot from Correa just outside and another from Chancalay that hit a stick) and deservedly won the victory.
On the next matchday 21, Atlético Tucumán will visit Rosario Central and Racing will receive Colón de Santa Fe.
