Matko Miljevic hit out at Enzo Copetti: «You're a fraud» | OneFootball

El Canalla beat the Academia 2-1 and advanced to the Apertura semifinals. The former Avellaneda side striker scored the goal that sealed the match.

The clash between players added another heated chapter after Rosario Central qualified for the Torneo Apertura semifinals by beating Racing 2-1. While Enzo Copetti was speaking in the mixed zone with TyC Sports, Matko Miljevic walked behind him and threw a comment at him: “You’re a ghost”. The striker’s reaction was immediate: he looked at him and made an annoyed gesture before continuing with the interview.

Minutes later, Copetti himself referred to the incident, although he avoided going deeper into the controversy. “A Racing player walked by and said something, something you can’t repeat. It’s nothing”, he said, clearly upset after the match played at the Gigante de Arroyito.

On the football side, El Canalla moved on to the next round in a match marked by red cards and tension. The decisive goal was scored by Copetti himself, a former Academia player, after taking advantage of a short clearance by Santiago Sosa to finish inside Facundo Cambeses’ right post. After scoring, the striker apologized with gestures toward the visiting fans.

After the match, the forward spoke about his feelings after scoring against his former club. “I’m happy because we took another step forward in this league and yes, it was a mix of emotions when I scored. I had to leave Racing, but I’ll always have affection for them”, said the former Academia striker, who played in Avellaneda between 2021 and 2023 and won a Trofeo de Campeones.
