Racing, qualified for the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores with reigning champion Flamengo from Brazil as a rival, suffered an unexpected defeat against Atlético Tucumán substitutes 4-1 in the debut
, as a result of an unfortunate performance.
To this setback is added that the work week of the "academic" campus did not go through the best climate, with controversial decisions by coach Sebastián Beccacece, distancing many collaborators from the practices in search of "intimacy" and rumors of distancing with some references .
There are only six dates and 18 points at stake for each zone and although the Cup has just started it would be difficult for Racing to return from Santa Fe with empty hands and zero units in the table, therefore, for a matter of spirit and score, it must achieve a good result.

, in a match that had feats of feat because it had lost 1-0 in Santa Fe and won 2-1 in Ecuador, which allowed it to advance due to courage double the goals scored as a visitor.
