Racing coach Gustavo Costas will face Boca this Sunday at 19:00 at La Bombonera in the Clausura tournament semifinals. He has only one previous precedent in his history of direct knockout matches against 'Xeneize'. This clash took place in the round of 16 of the 2005 Copa Sudamericana, twenty years ago, when Costas was in charge of Cerro Porteño from Paraguay and the coach of 'La Ribera' was Alfio Basile. In the first leg, held on September 21 at the Defensores del Chaco stadium in Asuncion, the team led by Costas rescued a 2-2 draw with goals from Walter Fretes and Pedro Benitez. Both matches will be covered live by the Argentine News Agency.
