After Racing
's misstep
in its debut in the
Professional League Cup, with a 1-0 defeat against a Unión that surpassed it, now
Gustavo Costas
' team
changed its face and exhibited a high level of play to score 3 -0 to Tigre in the Cilindro de Avellaneda and it was largely due to the performance of the Colombian
Juan Fernando Quintero
, the football generator that the Academy has.
The Avellaneda team started fifth and 10 minutes into the first half they were already winning 2-0 thanks to goals from
Agustín Almendra
and
Roger Martínez
.
Then, 25' into the match,
Quintero appeared with a goal that the racing fans shouted and that also brought a smile to the River fans.

The thing is that Juanfer received a pass from the right from the Uruguayan
Gastón Martierena
at the height of the crescent and in one movement he controlled the ball with his left foot and adjusted it to kick the goal with that same leg.
And goal.
Although his shot was low on the ground, many remembered the unforgettable goal against
Boca
in the
2018 Copa Libertadores final.
On that occasion, at the
Santiago Bernabéu stadium, another Uruguayan,
Camilo Mayada,
enabled it
and placed it, also with the instep of his left boot, in the upper left corner of the goal defended by Esteban Andrada.
Thus, he forever entered the hearts of the people of River Plate.
