Racing faces Talleres de Remedios de Escalada this Thursday, in one of the matches for the 16th finals of the Argentine Cup. The match is played starting at 9:10 p.m. at the Quilmes stadium. TyC Sports will be televised.
The referee of the match will be Pablo Echavarría, with Diego Bonfá and Julio Fernández as assistants. Felipe Viola will act as fourth referee. There will be no VAR.
For Racing the match has a double challenge. On the one hand, continue with the good streak that Gustavo Costas’ team has had for several dates, in all competitions. On the other hand, winning with authority against a rival from a lower category like Talleres, although it is known, many times these matches complicate the one who is presented as the favorite more than necessary.
The truth is that for the Academy, which was left out of the quarterfinals of the League Cup, staying alive in the Argentine Cup and advancing steadily in the Sudamericana is essential.
Talleres de Remedios de Escalada plays in the First National, a category to which it reached this year. And they are in the last places in Zone A in the competition, where they played 14 dates and only won three games. For Albirrojo, who have just eliminated Instituto, it will be a more than special match against one of the most senior teams in Argentine football. And dream of the feat.
