Yuri, without an angle, opens the score. The visitors went crazy for El Cilindro after just five minutes, when the ball fell to Yuri Alberto‘s feet after a rebound. The number 9 broke away from the defenders and turned on Memphis, who returned it with a heel for his teammate, even without an angle, to beat Arias with a left shot: 1 to 0.

Racing gets disorganized. Gustavo Costas‘ team was unable, despite the support of its fans, to impose itself after falling behind on the scoreboard. The team bet on crosses to bother Hugo Souza, but the Corinthians player didn’t do any work before the 30th minute. The black and white team, on the other hand, missed a clear chance to increase with Garro, who was face to face with the rival goalkeeper and did not do anything.
Martínez’s hand hurts, and Quintero equalizes. Racing managed, with a bit of luck, to reach a draw. Maxi Salas received it on the left wing and crossed to the middle of the area — the move, however, ended up being cut off by Martínez’s arm, who had made a move to block it. Referee Felipe González signaled a penalty, and Quintero hit hard in the middle to make it 1-1.

Ballboy hand helps, and Quintero turns around. The Argentines, this time with a hint of opportunism and competence, turned it around in a matter of three minutes. As soon as André Ramalho isolated a throw for the wing, one of the ball boys acted quickly and gave the ball to Rojas, who immediately charged towards Martínez. The attacker gave Quintero a header, who received it behind the defense and beat Hugo Souza: 2 to 1.
