Racing beat Coquimbo Unidos 2-1 to continue with an ideal score in the Copa Sudamericana. He did it by playing a high-flying first half and a very weak second half, where he wasted a couple of clear situations and practically ended up complicating himself. The three points left Costas’ team one step away from qualifying and with discomfort in the Chilean team.
The Coquimbo goalkeeper’s criticism of Racing after the Copa Sudamericana clash
After the game, the Coquimbo goalkeeper criticized Racing for the image it left in the Copa Sudamericana match. “Seeing the third most expensive team in Argentine football like this, having a bad time, wasting time, not wanting to play. It’s not a small thing… I was left with the second half, valuable for the arrivals we had, for the goal that was unfairly annulled “said goalkeeper Diego Sánchez, one of the high points that the Chileans had.
The goalkeeper’s night had already been spicy on the playing field. In the second half he had a tough confrontation with Maravilla Martínez, whom he pushed three times until the goalkeeper ended up separating them. Before, the Racing striker had taken the penalty for the second goal against Coquimbo in the Copa Sudamericana.
The undefeated record of the Chileans is over
Perhaps the discomfort of the Coquimbo goalkeeper has to do with the fact that Racing took the undefeated record that the Chileans had playing at home in the Copa Sudamericana. In 2024 they had not lost to their people, achieving four wins and just one draw. The last game had been a 2-0 against O’Higgins to climb to fourth place in the table in the local championship. The Academy’s next game will again be as a visitor against Red Bull. On Thursday, May 8, he will go for a good result that will put him in the round of 16 of the Sudamericana.
