The substitution did not work and Racing fell in El Bosque against Jimnasia

The race missed its good moment, falling to Jimnasia en El Bosque in the league championship and will have to turn the page to recover the lost points.

Fernando Gago decided to rest several beginners during his visit to La Plata, but Lobo surprised them with his game, clearly outplaying them, and if it were not for Gabriel Arias, La Academia could have stumbled.

During the first 20 minutes of the match, Lobo’s midfielders set the game times with their intensity and aggressiveness to win the second ball. Adding to how active Tarragona and Soldano were, reinventing themselves again and again to generate numerical superiority, they demolished many opportunities for the local population.

Despite some missed opportunities and good tackles by Gabriel Arias, the gymnast’s goal came. Tarragona, after dropping the ball into the area, took some time to leave their marks on the road and sealed it 1-0 up after 8 minutes.

Fernando Gago’s side were uncomfortable with Lobo’s high pressure in the baseline, forcing La Academia defenders to constantly split the ball, which they lost.

In the match preview, it was confirmed that Edwin Cardona would make his league debut and that was forgotten. The Colombian was stationary when lying to his left and although the ball didn’t reach him, he didn’t look for spaces for his teammates to find.

To make his present worse, he committed a very cruel offense against Bautista Barros Schelotto, as Nicolás La Molina decided not to send him off, and retired injured.

Cardona spent only 35 minutes on the field and left in tears with several gestures of helplessness and pain. In his place, Matias Rojas entered, who changed the face of the team.

The Paraguay immediately became a factor for his team and took charge of Racing’s attacks. This coincided with a decrease in Wolf’s sharpness, but the Academy could not translate that into clear chances against Thomas D’Urso.

When three minutes of extra time had been played, Gabriel Rojas received his second caution and was sent off for leaving the visitors without a single player.

At the beginning of the sequel, Gago moved the bank entering Nicolás Reniero and Jonathan Gómez to try and turn the team around, but a new blow hit 10 minutes into the match.

A beautiful center back from the right of Tomas Moreau, Leonardo Morales rose higher than everyone else and scored with a header to make it 2-0. Set pieces continue to be karma for La Academia, who have already conceded six goals this way.

Despite the fact that the match was difficult, Racing kept trying and won the award 22 minutes into the second half, precisely with the two players who entered from the start of the second 45 minutes.

Reniero won the second ball, helped signal in the air and Gomez hit him first against the opponent’s right.

The goal implicitly is to inject energy and change the morale of the La Academia players, who are beginning to struggle more with every meter of the field.

And those led by “Chirola” Romero did not give up and took advantage of the extra man they had to attack from the flanks, creating more space in the middle of the field.

El Lobo was also closed in the background, which made it difficult for Rojas to be important to set up play and every time Paraguay took the ball two local players came to put pressure on him.

Paulo Guerrero jumped onto the field in the 33rd minute and left Racing in attack with Peruvian Maxi Romero and Reinero, with Rojas and Gomez behind them.

40 minutes ago, the midfield was non-existent and ball strikes became commonplace for the visitors. While Al-Mahalli defended himself with the ball, making mistakes and constantly opening the field.

43 minutes were in progress when La Molina received an alleged penalty kick from Morales on Romero, but the video assistant referee intervened and corrected the referee three minutes later.

To add drama to the end of the match, Matias Collazo stood on the line after a corner kick and reflexes purely, sealing the tie for Racing.

With La Academia played entirely in offense, Soldano was rewarded for his tremendous sacrifice throughout the game. He left a rebound outside the area, put the ball to the left of Arias and declared the final 3-1.

The race substitution was not successful. Players who are not ordinary players couldn’t get caught, lost the opportunity to enter the discussion to add more minutes and fell after three straight wins.

For its part, the forest became a fortress for the wolf as it was four matches unbeaten. Undoubtedly, those led by Romero won a more than justified victory.
