Racing de Córdoba rocked before Colón clash after 2-0 loss to Bolívar | OneFootball

On the eve of its visit to the Brigadier López, Racing de Nueva Italia suffered a tough setback at home, falling 0-2 to Ciudad de Bolívar on Matchday 8 of the 2026 Primera Nacional. The Córdoba side, which will be Colón’s next opponent, failed to make home advantage count at the Miguel Sancho and will head into the clash against the «Sabalero» needing to bounce back.

A rocky start and a counterattack finish

The match became an uphill battle for the «Academia» right from the start: just one minute in, a mistake by goalkeeper Brian Olivera gifted a goal to Brian Duarte, who made it 1-0 for the visitors. Although Racing pushed forward in the second half in search of an equalizer, Ciudad de Bolívar took advantage of the spaces left behind: Mucignat won possession in a key play and finished past Olivera to seal the final 2-0.

Outlook ahead of the clash with the Sabalero

With this defeat, the Córdoba team remains on 11 points (5th in Zone A), while Ciudad de Bolívar climbed to seventh place with 9 points.

Now, all of Racing’s focus is on Santa Fe: next Saturday, April 11 at 7:00 p.m., the «Academia» will visit Colón in a highly demanding match where both sides will be looking to firmly establish themselves in the fight for the top spot.
