Colón 0 – Racing 2: Visitors secure points with win at Estadio Brigadier Estanislao Lopez

Colón on home loss to Racing Club at Estadio Brigadier Estanislao Lopez on Friday. Both teams arrived fresh from some positive results. Colón had been hopeful of continuing their good run after winning their previous two matches in the competition. The most recent was against the CA Platense away (2-1), the other to Patronato at home (1-0). Racing were able to continue their winning streak after a 2-0 win against Atlético Tucumán in their last match. Colón and Racing are 24th, (28 points) and 2nd, (47 points), in the league respectively, after 25 matches.

Following a goalless first half, Racing continued to pile on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded, when Johan Carbonero found the net on the 65 minute mark. Racing then netted again and increased their lead thanks to a goal from Enzo Copetti in the 68th minute to make it 2-0.

Substitutions for Colón included Juan Pablo Alvarez, Juan Sanchez Mino, Mauro Formica, Facundo Taborda and Stefano Moreyra for Santiago Pierotti, Leonel Picco, Luis Miguel Rodriguez, Cristian Bernardi and Baldomero Perlaza, respectively. Racing brought on Carlos Alcaraz, Jonathan Gomez, Gabriel Hauche, Nicolas Oroz and Facundo Mura for Emiliano Vecchio, Matias Rojas, Johan Carbonero, Leonel Miranda and Ivan Pillud.

There were bookings for Leonel Picco, Ramon Abila, Facundo Garces and Stefano Moreyra from Colón. For Racing, Gonzalo Piovi saw yellow.

Colón will next play Defensa and Justicia at home, with Racing facing Lanús away.
