Racing edge Vélez with extra man, reach Copa Libertadores semis | OneFootball

At the José Amalfitani stadium and for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, Racing beat Vélez 1-0. Towards the end of a first half in which Fortín had been superior, Lisandro Magallán was sent off leaving the home team with 10 players. In the second half, the Academy took advantage of the extra man and broke the deadlock through Adrián Maravilla Martínez. Shortly after, Quirós equalized the match, but the goal was disallowed via VAR because the ball had gone out during the corner kick.

In addition, around the 36th minute, referee Wilton Sampaio had sent off Juan Ignacio Nardoni. However, he was called to review the action and revoked his decision. Afterwards, the game continued and ended with the Academy's victory. The return match will be played next Tuesday, September 23 at 7 p.m., at the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
