Racing lost to Agropecuario and was eliminated from the Argentine Cup

Striker Tomás Chancalay, 30 minutes into the initial stage, broke the zero on the scoreboard and put Avellaneda’s men ahead in a deserved way, given the way the game had developed so far.

However, in a burst towards the end of the first half, attacker Brian Blando took advantage of two chances, at 43 and 47 minutes, and with two precise definitions surprised Fernando Gago’s team and turned the match around.

In the complement, Racing came out determined to come back from the match and regained total control of the ball instantly but, despite having endless clear scoring situations, they could not even reach a tie to take the definition to penalties.

Agropecuario, who in his debut had beaten Almirante Brown, clung to victory from a colossal level of goalkeeper Williams Barlasina, who accumulated no less than five masterful interventions to maintain the classification of the First National team.

In this way, Carlos Casares’ team will face Boca in the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup, which eliminated Ferro by beating him 1-0 in La Rioja.

Fernando Gago’s Racing, meanwhile, added a new setback despite the fact that they made more than enough merits to reach the round of 16 of the competition, but again the lack of efficiency was key to their elimination from the Cup.

When mistakes are repeated in such a short time they cease to be completely individual. As much as the photo finds Javier Correa again missing countless goals as in the elimination of the Copa Sudamericana or Juan Cáceres committing defensive horrors in the two goals against that Racing suffered, the responsibility of his coach takes on a greater size than a couple of weeks ago. The Academy was also prematurely eliminated from the Argentine Cup with the same arguments as from the continental competition. This time it was Agropecuario who put on the River de Uruguay vest and gave Fernando Gago another piece of paper.

The same mistakes and the same ending

How can you explain a Racing totally gifted at the back when they had already taken the lead against Sojero and won comfortably with Chancalay’s goal? Is it really necessary to go hand in hand with a center back like Cáceres who plays little and nothing and was on the field due to the absences of Nery Domínguez and Sigali? The Osella team, between minutes 43 and 46 of the first half, threw two balls that found the Blando bull. He took advantage of a completely badly positioned Racing behind, also of a Gastón Gómez with weak reactions, and turned the game around.
