This is the academy of happiness. It is a Cylinder full of joy. Oh career the one celebrating because he jumped in the international final after 32 years. Karera is enjoying because for the first time it will play the final of South American Cup. It is Karera that stands against the Brazilian supremacy in continental team football and eliminates the Corinthians by Ramón Díaz and Memphis Depaand. And it was all worth it.
The race got this pass to the final. For the class and for the decisive purposes of Juanfer Quintero. For Gabriel Arias’ crucial saves. For the offending spirit. For the faith sent to him by his iconic fan coach Gustavo Costas. Now they will go for the crown, on November 23, in Asunción (Paraguay), in the single-match final against Cruzeiro.
That place was achieved by Carrera after overcoming a semi-final full of vibrations, both in the 2-2 in Brazil and in this 2-1 in Avellaneda, able to overcome an early disadvantage.
The night in which Racing closed the series started as a dark one because they quickly lost due to a bad start by Gabriel Arias, who left the goal open, which facilitated the meaning of Yuri Alberto, after a backheel from Memphis Depay. And it could have been worse when the former FC Barcelona player left Rodrigo Garro alone, but this time the goalkeeper redeemed himself and made a great save in the one-on-one match . Another blow, 0-2 down, was fatal for the Career.
In a boiling Cilindro, with pure intensity and a frenetic pace, Racing went for the tie. And he didn’t just balance it. He turned it around with a quick, fresh Juanfer Quintero who was a double scorer, first equalizing with a penalty and then nailing the second with a left-footed resolution, after a quick lateral caused by the mischief of a ball boy that allowed Maxi Nasorpresa Salas to serve for Maravilla Martínez’s header, the man who gave the last pass to the talented Colombian.
Every time the Corinthians responded they came close to scoring. In fact, between the two goals from Juanfer, Arias reappeared to save another face-off with his foot, in this case against Yuri Alberto. He caught the progress of the game. There are always sensations of purpose in one purpose and in another. However, in the second half there were not so many clear chances. The race took control of the situation and released the party to Cilindro.
