Racing's coach Gustavo Costas stated that 'the dream of everyone' is to win the Torneo Clausura title, and at the same time said the team will 'give it all' against Boca in the tournament's semi-final. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Facundo Cambeses recounted the story of the 'holy water' he drank during the penalty shootout.
'We shouldn't have suffered that much, but this is football, and today we didn't deserve to go to extra time, but sometimes you have to suffer to win,' Costas said at a press conference after Racing's victory over Tigre in the penalty shootout, in which he saved two decisive penalties.
'When talking about the match against Boca at La Bombonera, he expressed: 'We are going to go as we always do, to give it all, so the fan can rest assured and already knows that these kids give it all.'
'This was water that was just there, it wasn't mine. Before the first penalty, I drank it and saved it, so I said, 'okay, this is holy water,' and it happened that when I drank it again, I saved another one,' Cambeses revealed.
'On the last penalty, I went to drink again but there was none left, and I wanted to die, I wanted someone to put a little water, but thank God we won.'
