This time there was no room for distractions and instabilities. This time RacingAwakened and relentless as ever, he kicked his complexes into the trash and drew a huge smile on the Cylinder. He did it with beautiful goals. He did it by crushing the Argentine Juniors by Gabriel Milito that came with a perfect balance. It was the best game of the ‘Era Gago’ at the Academy.
Racing gave away resolutions to scream with full force. In the first, Edwin Cardona, the Colombian who demanded an investment of 3 million dollars, made a delicious assist between the central markers and Javier Correa defined it with class before the goalkeeper came out.
Carlos Alcaraz, the 19-year-old youth who excites, jumped high and nailed an impressive header for 2-0. And the third one was even better than the other two. It is that there was a subtle cue from Gabriel Hauche that placed Enzo Copetti in a ‘head-to-head’ situation, who closed the work by touching it gently above the goal.
It was a victory that Racing and Gago needed after the doubts raised in the final part of the previous tournament and in the first two chapters of this League Cup crowned with draws. He was able to score a few more goals for the Academy, but he failed in the definition, all against an Argentinian team that was too fragile. The only negative for Racing was Cardona and Correa leaving due to injuries.
Unión won by the minimum and Patronato tied
Before Racing and its exhibition, Unión beat Atlético Tucumán 1-0 and Patronato tied 0-0 with Talleres. At the same time that the Academy built its victory, Colón beat Central Córdoba 2-0 in Santiago del Estero.
Now, with date 3 already closed, Group A is led by Platense and Unión with 7 points, escorted by River and Argentinos with 6, while Racing and Banfield add 5. The Group shows an exclusive pointer, with an ideal score: Estudiantes , with 9. Boca and Colón are chasing him with 7. Tigre has 5.
The fourth chapter of the League Cup will offer as outstanding matches two classics that catch. One, on Saturday, will be starred by Independiente and Boca. The other, on Sunday, will be played by Racing, who will visit a River at the Monumental that historically has always cost him but who has also thrashed him in recent times. Will Gago’s Academy be able to get rid of that thorn?
