It wasn’t easy. To secure the victory, Martín Varini’s team had to adopt a resilient mindset to overcome the challenges. The strategy employed by Racing was effective, and the visitors were largely superior throughout the match. In the first half, they dominated the play, pressing hard in the attacking half for the entire 45 minutes.

However, it was João Cruz’s brilliance that shone through, as he opened the scoring just before halftime, practically on the only chance Athletico had. In the second half, Racing cooled down and began to lose intensity, but around the 20-minute mark, the pressure returned. Despite this volume of play, they failed to create clear chances, allowing the home side to maintain their advantage heading into the return leg.

The second match will take place next Thursday in Avellaneda, and any draw will secure a spot for the Brazilian team in the semifinals of the Sudamericana. Lead the pack with BB Score.
