At the start of the second half, Carlos Alcaraz put the second with a header and Enzo Copetti He scored the third with a goal. The Academy achieved its first victory in the tournament.
It was 19 minutes into the first half that the Colombian midfielder scored an assist between two rivals for Correa that he defined to put the cast led by Fernando Gago. However, the striker left the field of play following 35 minutes showing signs of a possible tear. He was replaced by Enzo Copetti.
The Academy sought to extend its advantage and its best card was Cardona’s precision. Racing generated more situations and in one of them Gabriel Hauche he finished only in the small area, but Federico Lanzilotta saved with a providential save.
The locals were more and had other chances, two of them very clear through Copetti, one with a shot that went up and another before the end with a header that Lanzilotta once more avoided a new goal.
In the complement Argentinos did not manage that their ends in the offensive, Gabriel Carabajal and Nicolas Renieromanage to connect with the center forward, Gabriel Avalos. While Racing was more practical and with less possession, they managed to extend their advantage following 9 minutes. It was with a header Carlos Alcaraz following a corner kick taken by Thomas Chancalaywho replaced Cardona who was injured.
El Bicho might not find a way around it and the Academy continued with the pressure up front, without settling for 2-0.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES 0-0 WORKSHOPS:
Patronato de Paraná and Talleres de Córdoba drew goalless in a very discreet match corresponding to the third date, zone A, of the Professional League Cup (LPF). In the Presbítero Grella stadium in the capital of Entre Ríos, both teams offered a poor show, in which they showed the weak start of the two. It is that the Paraná team accumulated its first point in the table, while its Cordovan pair gathers 2 units, with a streak of 275 minutes without converting so many. The albiazul cast directed by Guillermo Hoyos finished with ten men, as a result of the red card shown to Ramiro González Hernández (St. 2m.), as soon as the complement had begun.
Board of Trustees, which offered six modifications to its main line-up compared to the one that took the field once morest River Plate (1-4), had to – imperatively – assume the role of protagonist. And the red and black team did it halfway, because he took the initiative and tried to be deep from the first minute. Although the fluidity in the transfer complicated the aspirations of the Delfino team. On the Talleres side, the stance was clear: go out quickly once morest, when the rival advanced lines. However, the albiazul cast had a hard time progressing on the field, because neither Matías Esquivel nor Fértoli were fine for the imbalance. And the kid Ignacio Lago hardly even made contact with the ball.
At the beginning of the second period, the expulsion of defender González Hernández accentuated the cautious profile of Talleres, who overcrowded the central zone, with the desire to neutralize a Patronato that approached through medium distance shots. Thus, a shot by the admitted Alexander Sosa forced a lucid intervention by goalkeeper Herrera (23m.). And not much more happened, because Talleres defended himself judiciously, while the local team abused long balls and never found enough clarity to weigh down the extra man. The team from Entre Ríos will face Atlético Tucumán on Tuesday, March 1, starting at 9:30 p.m.; while the albiazul cast will seek the first victory in the contest on Monday 28, at 7:15 p.m., once morest the downcast Newell’s.

UNION 1-0 ATLETICO TUCUMÁN:
Unión became strong in Santa Fe and achieved a 1-0 victory over Atlético Tucumán just as it happened on the opening day once morest River Plate. In this way, they climbed to the first step of Zone 1 of the Professional League Cup together with Platense, both with seven units following three days. In addition, those led by the Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa, who had his compatriot Jonathan Álvez as the scorer of the match, who scored his first goal with the shirt tatengue 10 minutes into the complement following a lucid individual maneuver, they have an undefeated fence because on the second day in Córdoba they equalized 0-0 where Sebastián Moyano saved a penalty from Enzo Díaz in the last minute of the game.

Precisely, Atlético Tucumán will receive on the next day, the fourth, the entrerrianos, on Tuesday, March 1 from 9:30 p.m., while Unión will visit Sarmiento, on Sunday from 5:00 p.m. in Junín.

The assistent Marcelo Bistocco did not observe the irregularity,
Wanchope entered very actively and later made a good play with a double hitch in the area and his shot went close to the right post.
Later, at 76 minutes, Sabalero’s second goal came following a ball that reached the area, Rafael Delgado attended head to Facundo Garces that by the same route extended the advantage.
El Ferroviario lost the unbeaten record with which it arrived at this event following appearing once morest the two promoted to First Division (they beat Barracas Central and tied with Tigre in Victoria). Sergio Rondina was forced to play eleven due to the injury of Claudio Riano.
