Racing lost to Talleres with one more player and moved away from the leaders of the Professional League

With one more player due to the expulsion of Franco Moyano, Racing could not take advantage in Córdoba and lost 2-0 to Talleres on the fifteenth date of the Professional League.

With goals from Valentín Depietri at 17 minutes of the first half and Cristian Tarragona at 18 of the second halfTalleres is now three points behind leader Vélez and is back in the Copa Libertadores positions in the annual table.

On the other hand, Racing is still six points behind the team from Liniers and was relegated by the team from Cordoba in the cup table, so it is currently qualifying for next year’s Copa Sudamericana.

At the start of the match, Racing went all out on the wings and tried to break through Talleres’ defence with great work by Colombian Roger Martínez and the midfielders who joined the attack, but they found a rival well positioned at the back.

However, the home team came out quickly after a corner kick with a pass from Rubén Botta and a long run from Depietri, who faced the opponent’s field and arrived with a calm finish to make it 1-0 in the 17th minute.

Around the 30th minute, with Racing much better positioned in the opponent’s half, Franco Moyano impotently gave Bruno Zuculini a hard tackle and referee Fernando Rapallini barely showed him the yellow card.

However, after the VAR call, Rapallini reviewed the play in detail and decided to change the sanction: Moyano was sent off with a direct red card.

After a great collective play on Racing’s field, at 18 minutes of the second half, Camilo Portilla passed the ball to Matías Galarza, who left Miguel Navarro alone on the wing and the Venezuelan crossed for Tarragona to arrive, who made it 2-0 for the T.
