Racing back among South America's top four after beating Vélez | OneFootball

After 90 minutes of pure dominance and with a bit of luck thanks to a -good- intervention by VAR, Racing prevailed 1-0 over Vélez and thus made it to the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores, where they now await the winner of the series between Flamengo and Estudiantes.

From the very first minute, Costas’ team overwhelmed Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s side, who nevertheless could have taken the lead in the second half, after a shot from Imanol Machuca slipped past Facundo Cambeses, but VAR determined that the ball had not fully crossed the line and everything remained level. Finally, it was Santiago Solari who appeared by surprise at the far post and pushed the ball into the back of the net, scoring the winning goal in the 81st minute. Thus, the Avellaneda side rounded off a 2-0 aggregate over the team from Liniers and secured a spot among the top four in the Copa Libertadores.
