This Sunday, El Calamar added 3 points in the match on date 8 of Argentina – Professional League Cup 2023 against the Academy. The goal of the match for the local team was scored by Baltasar Rodríguez (41′ 2T). While the away goals were scored by Nicolás Castro (18′ 1T, penalty) and Ronaldo Martínez (10′ 2T).
Despite the dominance that was reflected in ball possession (74%) and the highest number of shots on goal (17), Racing Club failed to win against Platense.
The figure of the match was Ronaldo Martínez. The forward from Platense showed his best level by scoring 1 goal, shooting 3 times into the opponent’s goal and making 7 correct passes.
Jonatan Gómez also played a good game. The Racing Club midfielder made 34 correct passes, recovered 3 balls and looked for the opposite goal with 2 shots.
A high foul rate constantly slowed down the game on the court. There were several reprimands: Gastón Suso, Nicolás Castro, Jonatan Gómez, Iván Rossi and Mateo Pellegrino.
Racing strategist Sebastián Grazzini stopped the starting eleven with a 4-3-3 formation with Gabriel Arias in goal; Gastón Martirena, Leonardo Sigali, Gonzalo Piovi and Gabriel Rojas on the defensive line; Juan Ignacio Nardoni, Aníbal Moreno and Jonatan Gómez in the middle; and Juan Fernando Quintero, Roger Martínez and Agustín Ojeda in the attack.
