Gallardo rows with Costas’ son in Racing-River chaos: “Why do you want…” | OneFootball

The son of Racing's coach had a spicy altercation with the Doll once the match in Rosario ended.

The match that River won against Racing in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina ended in scandal. Runs, fights, insults, an inadmissible spit from Adrián Balboa to Marcos Acuña and the clash of Marcelo Gallardo with the son of Gustavo Costas were some of the scenes that this match closure left at the Gigante de Arroyito.

And it was that altercation between Gallardo and Gonzalo Costas, the son of Racing's coach and one of his assistants in the technical team, which prompted a dialogue in which River's coach asked him: "Why do you want to fight?", from the brawl he had with Marcos Acuña, who they went to look for after the match.

That clash of players and members of Racing's technical team with Acuña over an alleged provocation by the defender to the Academy fans at the end of the match when he went to get a ball to take a throw-in and started to juggle with his head, led to a fight between players that not only delayed the continuity of the match, which ended with 16 minutes of addition, but also, once finished, left the worst image when Rocky Balboa spat in the face of the River player.

"We'll talk about it there", Gonzalo Costas told Gallardo when he realized that a camera was recording that dialogue between them.

But the anger with Acuña continued, especially from Costas' son who warmly greeted Maxi Salas at the end of the match, but whispered to him: "He's ungrateful, now that he's a world champion...", clearly referring to the River defender.
