Racing returned to the Cylinder after the victory with Colón that showed a dystina face to the draw with Rentistas in Uruguay, but knowing that he needed the points to get into the fight of the area, in which St. Paul was a leader after beating Sporting Cristal. The Peruvian team, on the other hand, wanted to reflect their good timing in the local league and in Argentina had the opportunity to do so and even the fate of the result played against him, as he deserved more than a draw and ended up suffering a hard hit with one more player and does not add points in two matches. The first 25 minutes were from the “Academy”, which shrinked the spaces and pressed high, forcing the opponent’s mistake. Thus came the free kick with which Lovera centered and Cáceres, the juvenile who came from wetting in Uruguay and against Columbus, put the popcorn for 1 to 0, in the 14 minutes.

The closing of the first stage was for the visit, which raised the level and had its finishes, controlled by Arias, but it was not deep as it was going to be in the whole second stage, when the match opened with the expulsion of Lucas Orban by a hard knee against Madrid, when they went 4 minutes. Just five minutes later, Cristal took advantage of a disstatement in defense and Riquelme’s class were key for Gonzales to score a real right-hand goal, alongside a stick, leaving an Arias without chance who was going to enlarge his figure and once again he was going to have vital interventions for Racing.
Pizzi’s changes changed his face to a team that decided to wait against one less man, but suffered by the gangs and waited for his time to counter-strike, with many options wasted until the 84th minute, in which Miranda received for derehca and put in a perfect center for Chancalay’s entrance, who sentenced the game upside down. Racing gets too much prize for what was the match and the 2-1 gives him confidence and comfortable in an area where St. Paul can get to the top if he beats Rentistas at Morumbí. In the next day, the “Academia” is again local before those of Hernán Crespo and Cristal will visit Rentistas in Montevideo.
