Racing Club, trying to forget the disappointment caused by the elimination of the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Boca Juniors, falls 4-3 once morest Huracán in the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup.
Seven minutes into the match, Huracán took the lead following Lucas Carrizo’s shot from outside the area.
Huracán moved even further away on the scoreboard 21 minutes into the first half with Lucas Souto’s goal, a long ball left him free to define before the academic goalkeeper came out.
But Racing did not let it go, because four minutes later Nicolás Oroz nailed an impossible right hand for Lucas Chaves, Globo’s goalkeeper.
El Globo took the lead once more, 40 minutes into the first half, with Guillermo Benítez’s goal. The player was able to shoot the ball before the goalkeeper narrowed his shooting angle.
Huracán started the second half on fire, since two minutes into the start Héctor Fertoli (ex-Talleres) scored the fourth following a cross from Matías Cóccaro that crossed the area.
Racing did not lower its arms, because it closed the gap seven minutes into the second half. Maximiliano Romero was in charge of bringing those from the Academy closer together.
The Academy came even closer with another goal from Romero (4-3), who hit a bomb near the goal to beat the Globo goalkeeper. The goal was the player’s tenth in 52 games.
The match is played at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium, in Córdoba, with the refereeing of Fernando Echenique and is televised by TyC Sports.
In the event of a tie, the definition will be with shots from the penalty spot and the winner of this match will face Estudiantes de La Plata in the quarterfinals, who defeated Independiente on penalties.
How Racing came to the match once morest Huracán
Different realities and motivations on the side of Racing and Huracán, although the goal is the same, to pass the phase and reach the defining stages of the Argentine Cup.
Racing, directed by Fernando Gago, had the Libertadores as its main objective and following being eliminated in the quarterfinals once morest Boca (in a definition with shots from the penalty spot), the team has to be the protagonist of the definition of the Argentine Cup or the Copa of the league.
The Academy, due to the quality of its squad, has to finish 2023 with a title, it is almost an obligation, and that need can act as a burden for a team that finds it difficult to survive in the defining stages of each competition.
Racing’s losses for their match once morest Huracán
Racing will suffer some significant absences such as those of goalkeeper Gabriel Arias (called by Chile to play in the Qualifiers), Juan Fernando Quintero (with Colombia), Juan Nardoni (with the Argentine U-23) and Aníbal Moreno (torn).
Added to them is the almost certain absence of Colombian striker Roger Martínez, who has not yet recovered from a tear.
How Huracán came regarding in the match once morest Racing
Huracán, directed by Diego Martínez, is experiencing another reality, more bitter and worrying, linked to the danger of losing the category. In the annual table of the LPF the “Globo” adds 31 units to only one of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, which is declining.
El Globo needs to add and the Argentine Cup, which it won in 2014 by beating River in the final, as important as it is, is not the priority and it is likely that it will have more of its mind on the League Cup match once morest Independiente, in Avellaneda, the current 14th for the fourth date playing once morest a direct rival for permanence.
Huracán’s casualties for their match once morest Racing
Huracán will also be absent due to the qualifying rounds of the Chileans Rodrigo Echeverría and William Alarcón.
The path taken by both teams
Racing reached this stage following eliminating San Martín de Formosa (3-1) and San Martín de Tucumán (2-1); while Huracán left Yupanqui (4-1) and Instituto (2-0) on the road.
