Unbelievable! Tagliamonte's bizarre blunder gifted Caracas an equaliser | OneFootball

Without exactly cruising, Racing were beating Caracas 2-1 in Avellaneda and keeping their chances of advancing in the 2026 CONMEBOL Sudamericana alive. However, in an unbelievable play, the Venezuelan side found an equalizer that ended up eliminating La Academia.

Matías Tagliamonte had just made two sensational saves to preserve the lead, but the euphoria did not last long, because on the very next corner, the goalkeeper tried to tip the ball over the crossbar, but it stayed in play, bounced several times off the post, and when it dropped, Irving Gudiño took advantage to score the equalizer with absolutely no opposition.

It was total shock at El Cilindro, because although Racing had dropped off and were no longer controlling the ball, they had been protecting their lead without any trouble. From then until the end, Gustavo Costas’s team pushed for the win, but ran into their lack of ideas and ended up surprisingly out of the cup.
