Franco Pardo sends Racing to quarters, leaves pushing a van | OneFootball

Racing had an epic day this Tuesday in Avellaneda with the agonizing victory over Peñarol that placed them in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. There, the absolute protagonist was Franco Pardo.

The Cordoban defender arrived in this transfer market and, in the 49th minute, anticipated everyone to connect an impossible header for goalkeeper Brayan Cortés to stop. His first goal in the club couldn't have come at a better time, where he unleashed madness in the Cilindro and secured the qualification of the "Academia".

However, the night surprised him with an unexpected episode, as when Pardo tried to leave the Cilindro, his truck wouldn't start in the parking lot. The hero of the match went from the goal and the hugs to having to push his own vehicle along with some fans who helped him.

The video went viral in a matter of minutes, as the same player who had unleashed euphoria with a historic goal ended up receiving support from fans in a gesture of humanity.

In this way, Pardo closed a day that will be remembered, as he went from being a hero on the field by scoring the 3-2 global to being the protagonist of an unusual post outside of it, reinforcing the bond with the people of Racing even more.
