Racing has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Godoy Cruz (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) for a Copa Argentina game that ended a draw (3-3). Racing's last match (vs Godoy Cruz (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties)) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by J. Correa. As you can tell from the result, the match against Godoy Cruz (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, Racing Club drew the match against Godoy Cruz (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties). Manager C. Úbeda brought on J. Correa to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
