VIDEO: Last-gasp Sosa goal sends Racing past Estudiantes, Central up next | OneFootball

La Academia beat Estudiantes 1-0 in La Plata and advanced to the next round, where they will face Canalla.

Racing defeated Estudiantes 1-0 at UNO and knocked them out in the Round of 16 of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. La Academia found the winner in the final minutes thanks to a dramatic goal by Santiago Sosa and eliminated the top team in Zone A, which had arrived as one of the favorites. Now, Gustavo Costas’ team will face Rosario Central in the quarterfinals in Santa Fe.

El Pincha had managed to take the lead through Edwuin Cetré, but the goal was disallowed for offside. When the 0-0 seemed set to send the match into extra time, Sosa appeared right at the end to secure qualification for La Academia and deepen the disappointment for the La Plata side.
