Racing Club, with the desire to leave behind the disappointment caused by the elimination of the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Boca Juniors, will play today against Huracán in a crossroads of the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup.
The match will be played from 8:10 p.m. at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium, in Córdoba, with the refereeing of Fernando Echenique and televised by TyC Sports.
In the event of a tie, the definition will be with shots from the penalty spot and the winner of this match will face Independiente or Estudiantes de La Plata in the quarterfinals, who will face each other a while before in Mendoza.
Different realities and motivations on the side of Racing and Huracán, although the goal is the same, to pass the phase and reach the defining stages of the Argentine Cup.
Racing, directed by Fernando Gago, had the Libertadores as its main objective and after being eliminated in the quarterfinals against Boca (in a definition with shots from the penalty spot), the team has to be the protagonist of the definition of the Argentine Cup or the Copa of the league.
Huracán, directed by Diego Martínez, is experiencing another reality, more bitter and worrying, linked to the danger of losing the category. In the annual table of the LPF the “Globo” adds 31 units to only one of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, which is declining.
Racing reached this stage after eliminating San Martín de Formosa (3-1) and San Martín de Tucumán (2-1); while Huracán left Yupanqui (4-1) and Instituto (2-0) on the road.
