Racing 3-1 Banfield: Balboa and Zuculini on target | OneFootball

With two goals from Bruno Zuculini and one from former Unión player Adrián “Rocky” Balboa, Gustavo Costas’s team prevailed against El Taladro, who pulled one back through Sepúlveda, at the Florencio Sola.

Racing secured a crucial win at the Florencio Sola: they beat Banfield 3–1 on matchday 12 of the Clausura Tournament and are dreaming of breaking into the top eight. With a brace from Bruno Zuculini and another goal from Adrián Balboa, Gustavo Costas’s team was clinical at decisive moments for an emphatic victory. Bruno Sepúlveda’s late consolation only glossed over the scoreline for Pedro Troglio’s side, who still can’t find their footing.

The concern for La Academia was Gabriel Rojas’s injury; after assisting Zuculini on the first goal, he was left on the ground and had to be taken off on the cart, replaced by Rodríguez. The full-back will be evaluated in the coming hours, and his presence against Flamengo, in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals, is in doubt. Racing, who had already suffered two other injuries against Independiente Rivadavia, reached 15 points and are now one point off the qualification zone, while Banfield remain lagging behind on 14 points.
