The player who was asleep had appeared. He woke up one day. On a tile, following a fake, he showed that his quality is more current than ever. The Colombian that the Academy fans expected and expect so much from was going to activate at some point. Seconds following Gabriel Arias blocked a one-on-one once morest Sanabria, Roger Martínez hooked to the outside and hit an unappealable left foot. The Cylinder celebrated. racing He was the only leader in his area. But… In an oversight, Mateo Sanabria was left alone and tied it in agonizing fashion at 45′ of the second half. Another hard blow for the Academy. For a team that left whistled by the fans, who also sang once morest the board of directors.
Once once more, Racing did not take advantage of a chance to climb further up the table. A victory would have left him only at the top. And it would have introduced him with more margin into the Copa Sudamericana zone, although the bean has left him in last place in that zone. Once once more, defensive inattention condemned the Academy. As in Florencio Varela, the brown one seemed defeated. He didn’t hit him with that goal from Roger Martínez or with the freshness that Agustín Ojeda gave him with more determination later on.

The presence of players with the technical quality of Emiliano Vecchio and Agustín Almendra had not given Racing the football that those two men together were supposed to be able to provide. Although they speak the same language with the ball, the problem was that they rarely teamed up in the first half. Of the two, the most active was Vecchio, when he played short to start circuits that did not last long. That were cut quickly due to inaccuracies.
Racing was a tied team once morest Central Córdoba
The Academy lacked ease. He played as if he was dragging a very heavy backpack. He taxied and never really managed to take flight. As if he were too afraid of error, he conveyed the image of a tied team. Tibio went on the offensive, even though he had a couple of clear chances. The Grazzini-Videla duo repeated the 4-2-3-1 that had created a lot of danger for Defense and Justice. This time, however, it cost him a lot.
Vecchio in the center of a line of three always tried and asked for it, but he mightn’t do much. Almendra started on the left and then castled with Baltasar Luis Rodríguez, who had little influence. The ball didn’t reach Roger very much. When he received it, the rival defenders absorbed him with advances or individual duels won, except in that action in which he hooked inside and was able to make space for a shot with his right hand. And except, also, in the play of the 1-0 partial goal.
Central Córdoba took away Racing’s spark. The Santiago team opposed him in defensive order. A lot of momentum for every ball played and he never felt inferior. He fought a battle in the middle and had even a better associated game than his rival in the PT. He never deliberately dropped back, but instead made quick transitions to get over the line following turnovers. What the Railwayman did not find were lights to illuminate his path in the final stretch of the field. That prevented him from being more aggressive from the middle forward.
At the beginning of the second half the duo sent Ojeda onto the field for Baltasar Luis Rodríguez. Trapito gave vitamins to the forward. He broke through by winning some heads-up due to his right-hand skill and acceleration. But there were no good endings. The Academy moved forward and Central Córdoba, at times, waited for the opportunity to put in a counter or fast attack with spaces. Arias saved the team and Roger’s scream immediately came. Crazy, with little time left and with the advantage, it seemed that victory was already in the making. Or almost. But not. The tie was a stab. And the court ended up in a hive once more.
