Painful defeat for Racing in La Fortaleza. Gustavo Costas’ team was surpassed by Lanús for much of the game and fell 2-0. The eighth goal received from a dead ball and a new error by Facundo Cambeses defined an adverse match from the start.

Racing started the night with a line of five in the background. At times, it became a line of four, since Gastón Martirena on the right projected himself much more than Gabriel Rojas. Of course, when Lanús had the ball, the five stood behind forming the defense.

During the first part, It can be said that Racing ended up getting it cheap. The thing is the clearest chances were for the local. The Academy arrived with just a weak shot by Agustín Almendra and a header by Adrián Martínez that were not more serious for Garnet.

Regarding the end of the PT, Lanús hit with a stopped ball goal: free kick from the right and header by Ramiro Carrera. It is the eighth goal that they have scored against Costas’ team through that means: four from corners and four from free kicks. A blow that made him go to the locker room at a disadvantage.

In the second half, Racing went a little further forward, played more exposed: There were already three in the background, with the two sides very loose and high. But Lanús knew how to take advantage of the speed of his forwards to generate dangerous counters.

The second goal came after 20 minutes. in a quite similar way in terms of outcome and execution: a shot that stung Cambeses before and he couldn’t keep it, so Walter Bou captured the rebound and sent it to save. Already at 2-0, Racing couldn’t have much of the ball and Lanús ended up flourishing. A defeat that, although this has just started, hurts for having to now begin a great stoppage for Argentine football due to the start of the Copa América.
