The 1-1 draw between Independiente and Racing in Avellaneda left controversial statements from the coaches of both teams. Independiente's coach, Julio Vaccari, responded to Gustavo Costas' criticisms of the officiating led by Nicolás Ramírez, stating that he does not comment on other teams and reminding the importance of managing the 'third largest club in Argentine football'.
Vaccari also explained the substitution of Federico Vera during the match, indicating that he left due to fatigue and that the original plan was for Luciano Cabral to start. However, due to an injury to Cabral, Lautaro Millán took his place in the starting lineup. The coach praised Pablo Galdames' performance, who entered wisely in the second half and contributed to Independiente's dominance in that part of the match.
In the post-match press conference, Vaccari expressed his opinion that his team deserved a bit more for what was shown in the second half, where Independiente's dominance was absolute. Despite the draw on the scoreboard, the coach emphasized his team's will to win on all fields and in every match. Vaccari concluded his statement in the press conference with the phrase: 'Sometimes it's better not to talk'.
