Night of terror in Brazil: the mistakes that doomed Racing | OneFootball

Gustavo Costas’s team fell 2-1 to Botafogo in a match marked by hard-to-explain mistakes of their own, leaving them walking a tightrope in the Copa Sudamericana.

The nightmare began in the 19th minute with a string of bizarre errors: a risky pass from Sosa, a giveaway by Fernández, and a cross from Medina that ended in tragedy. Marco Di Césare, trying to clear it, didn’t hear Facundo Cambeses shout and ended up putting the ball into his own net as García Basso arrived too late. The defender quickly apologized to the goalkeeper, but the emotional blow had already been dealt.

When the equalizer seemed inevitable, Danilo hit a soft shot, without much power, that slipped through Cambeses’s hands. A mistake unworthy of the level expected from the former Banfield man, and one that sealed the outcome.

Late in the match, to make matters worse, Facundo Cambeses came out badly and mistimed his move, which earned the Academia goalkeeper a red card on a night to forget. With no substitutions left, Sosa put on the gloves and played the final minutes in goal.
