Racing won Thursday night with great authority over Banfield as a visitor by 2-0 with goals from Matías Rojas and Tomás Chancalay in the first half and thus climbed to the fourth step of the Professional League positions at the end of the 14th. championship date.
Banfield, meanwhile, was in 21st. place with 15 units and its players and managers ended up being highly questioned by the fans.
The visit came out with everything from the start of the game in search of victory to get closer to the leader Atlético Tucumán, after three consecutive draws.
A recovery of the redundancy worth recovering Nicolás Oroz allowed Enzo Copetti to quickly come out of the counterattack and assist the Paraguayan Matias Rojas, who defined goalkeeper Facundo Cambeses near the right post with a shot from outside the area to score his third goal in the contest.
The goal in favor gave the team led by coach Fernando Gago the necessary confidence to continue handling the ball with supremacy over its rival and create several clear scoring situations, although without being able to be effective.
The team led by coach Claudio Vivas, little by little and through the clear and effective handling of the ball by Nicolás Domingo in the middle, was able to equalize the development of the game and thus generate some plays in their favor to try to reach equality.
A mid-range shot by midfielder Matias González that hit the right post was the most dangerous play of the local, which grew in the game.
At the best moment of the “Drill” and when he had full control of the ball, NIcolás Oroz, the best of Racing in the first stage, rehearsed a personal move on the left sector and took out a center that Chancalay changed for a goal with a first-class shot and did not celebrate “because sometimes things get difficult and it had been a long time since didn’t convert.”
The second goal from Avellaneda left the locals without answers in the last quarter of an hour of the first stage.
At the beginning of the second half, the locals came out determined to discount, they stopped in the rival field and grew in the game, although they could not generate clear chances to discount.
The “Drill” continued with the initiative in its favor, tried to handle the ball, although without being vertical, against a Racing that endured solidly and without despair with the calm of 2-0 in its favor.
With a view to the end of the game, Banfield kept trying, but ran into a Gabriel Arias again at a high level as against Boca and with a Racing that took care of the result with firmness to get back on top of the table.
On the next day (15th.) Racing Club will host San Lorenzo at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, while Banfield will visit Central at the Gigante de Arroyito, both next Monday.
