Racing beat Banfield 3-1, Balboa scores, Zuculini nets twice | OneFootball

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

Racing secured a key 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’ team showed efficiency at decisive moments for an impressive triumph. Bruno Sepúlveda’s late consolation only slightly glossed the scoreline for Pedro Troglio’s side, who still can’t find their footing.

The concern for La Academia was the injury to Gabriel Rojas, who, after assisting Zuculini on the first goal, 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 availability against Flamengo in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals is in doubt. Racing, who had already suffered two other losses against Independiente Rivadavia, reached 15 points and sit one point off the qualification zone, while Banfield remains behind on 14.
