Racing will face Corinthians from Brazil in the second leg of the semifinals of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana. The match will take place at Estadio Presidente Perón, better known as El Cilindro, officiated by Felipe González from Chile and will start at 21:30 hours. After the 2-2 draw in the first match, Racing will seek victory to advance to the final of the tournament.
The "Academy" managed to draw during their visit to Brazil in the first match but later suffered a local defeat against Banfield. With a standout performance in the group stage, Racing aims to establish itself again in an international competition after several years. On the other hand, Corinthians, coached by Ramón Díaz, have had a good run in the Cup, eliminating teams like Huachipato and Athletico Paranaense.
Regarding the possible line-ups, Racing would line up with Gabriel Arias in goal, the defense consisting of Gastón Martirena, Marco Di Cesare, Agustín García Basso, and Gabriel Rojas. In midfield would be Santiago Sosa, Juan Quintero, Juan Nardoni, Agustín Almendra, and Maximiliano Salas, while in attack would be Adrián Martínez under the technical direction of Gustavo Costas.
On the other hand, Corinthians would have Hugo Nogueira in goal, with Fagner, André Ramalho, Cacá, and Matheus Bidu in defense. In midfield would be André Carrillo, José Martínez, and Charles, while in attack would be Rodrigo Garro, Yuri Alberto, and Memphis Depay under the technical direction of Ramón Díaz.
Although Corinthians has performed well in the Copa Sudamericana, in the Brazilian league they are in a low position and are fighting to avoid relegation. Both teams will seek victory in this crucial matchup to advance to the final of the tournament and get closer to the coveted title.
