He will play the semi-finals with Boca in the Bombonera

The final ball, that left-footed shot that crashed into the corner, lit the party in El Cilindro. Once again, in the last breath, Racing wins the game. It happened against River, here, with Gaston Martina’s agonizing goal. He repeated against Tigre even though he had to arrive Those painful twelve-step shots.

with Two legs less Because of the expulsion of the Uruguayan himself and Santiago Sosa. With all the anger around The penalty kick taken by Felipe Zenobio against Tomas Konecny, which was not taken by Andres Merlos and Pablo Duvalo – via VAR technology -. With an emotional farewell to Gabriel Arias, the multiple champion goalkeeper, and The two keys were saved for his successor, Facundo Campesis, in the definition. With a message for Boca, Sunday’s semi-final opponent, which promises a high effort in the Bombonera.

We had to wait until dawn to find the feelings. Previously, there was difficulty in digestion and difficulty digesting Continued with more action, red cards and great controversy. Racing’s dominance and Tigre’s more conservative stance were of course expected. However, there was nothing predictable about this poor showing at first.

Creative deficiency in academywho had possession of the ball (72% after the first forty-five minutes), who shot from the sides, but did not shoot against Zenobio. Order and focus Bullfighterwho created a line of four and a very compact midfield that intercepted every attack in the blue and white.

Racing approached the match with a 4-3-3 formation, as the team sought depth with its full-backs rotating in attack. But the most active player was Santiago Solari, as he attacked from the right side for most of the preliminary phase until he switched to the left and changed lines with Duvan Vergara.

the academy He showed aggression in the face of the game, he had the initiative, but he ran much more than he played. The only ones who have managed to make a leap in quality when it comes to production are Santiago Sosa and Agustín Almendra. However, the convincing midfielder has been involved more in the fighting than in the pregnancy, and the former Boca player has had his ups and downs.

In light of this situation, The best thing – the only thing in short – that Racing demonstrated was the occasionality of the bands. The ball crossed the sky of the visiting area, but ended up in a pile of nothing. He wonders Martinez fought Tigre’s defenders and always lost. Everything was noisy in front of Zenobio.

Tigre only created a threat when he shot the centre-forwards, especially Diego Romero, who went on a solo adventure and was worried. He did little, but finished off the only shot on target, which Facundo Campesis put down. Nacho On the other hand, Russo lost singles duels with Nazareno Colombo and Agustín García Basso.

If the match was very low-key, Andres Merlos’ task made it much worse. The unforced errors and errors committed by his assistant Pablo Acevedo, along with the deletion of fouls and cards, upset the fans and cast a shadow over the display on the pitch.

The second half did not change their spirit. Racing came out determined to participate in the duel on the opponent’s field and Tigre did not wait even ten minutes to reinforce the plan. Jabes Saralegui left his link position and positioned himself as a right midfielder. Braian Martínez replaced Romero, aiming to take advantage of Chaco’s speed and set up in a 4-4-2 formation.

Collectively, academy Didn’t provide great answers. After that, Vergara became brilliant, playing on the left flank and being very penetrating with his diagonal passes. The Colombian created the best situation when he was able He wondersarrived ahead of Zenobio to cut in and his subsequent shot was met by a notable cross from Tomas Cardona, which he rejected on the goal line. The cannons were impassable up and down.

Diego Dabov burned the final window and strengthened the middle with the entry of Simon Rivero and Jalel Elias. In addition, Guillermo Soto was put on the right to team up with Ramon Arias and face Gabriel Rojas, and then he was completely fired.

Gustavo Costas did Essential touch On the team that won the match. Almendra left, colorless and tired, and Adrian Fernandez entered. Toto showed some touches of his talent and caused a free kick at the request of Martina. The Uruguayan applied the force, but Zenobio blocked him with his fists.

The match was opened because Racing was playing. Especially with the entry of Tomas Konecny ​​for Juan Nardone, another one who was not attracted. There was a nice touch from the former San Lorenzo He wondersBut he was unable to overcome Zenobio who showed his reflexes again.

Nacho Rousseau had three very clear chances from three responses, however Always wrong definition. First, with a shot forced to some extent by the alertness of García Basso, who was always on the lookout; Then he bit him after a barbaric play from Rivero and was also unable to take advantage of the noticeable change in the attacking line from the Boca player, shaking wide and very far.

in the end, Everything happened. Another shot from Martina was blocked by Zenobio He wonderswho is going through a dark streak, missed an unbeatable rebound. Arias was sent off because he interrupted a counterattack by Martinez himself. Tigre only has one goal left to face extra time, no less.

The first extra time was played at the visiting stadium. The race dominated but lacked finishing touch. There was a goal disallowed against Vergara for offside, but the controversy reached a boiling point when Zenobio came out to cut into Sosa’s central defense and beat Konecny. It was a clear penalty kick that Merlos did not take and was overlooked by Pablo Duvalo in the VAR. Martina was reprimanded, he praised the referee, the Mendoza compatriot showed him the second yellow card and the Uruguayan ended up being sent off. It was sung against Czech Tapia, as is the case in almost all areas.

Costas Vergara was brought on at the start of the second half, although the Colombian was one of the outstanding players.. He opted for a double “9” and also knocked Facundo Moura off balance on the outside. However, each attempt was met with opposition from Tigre. To make matters worse, Sosa was ejected for rough play. He was actually reprimanded and Alfio Oviedo was punched in the face.

The game changed direction and Bullfighter He turned and took his last breath in the Qambis area. Resist the race. The sanctions arrived. And the party of academy.

In the following order of execution: Cardona (Save Campesis), Adrian Martinez (Save), Diego Sosa (Save), Adrian Fernandez (Save), Lasso (Save Campes), Rojas (Save), Julian Lopez (Save), García Basso (Save).
