Gallardo rows with Costas’ son in chaotic Racing-River finale: “Why…” | OneFootball

The son of Racing's coach had a spicy altercation with Muñeco after the match in Rosario.

The match that River won against Racing in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina ended in scandal. Runs, fights, insults, an inexcusable 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 marked the end of the match 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 coaching staff, that prompted a dialogue in which the River coach asked him: "Why do you want to fight?", following 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 coaching staff 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 juggling with his head, resulted in a fight between players that not only delayed the continuation 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 their conversation.

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.
