Racing's goalkeeper Facundo Cambes became the hero by saving two decisive penalties in the 4-2 shootout victory against Tigre after a 0-0 draw in regular time. This match was a Clausura League quarterfinal. As has been happening lately, the 28-year-old goalkeeper, born in Longchamps, was colossal between the posts and kept out the shots of Tomas Cardona and Joaquin Laso, securing the 'Academy's' place in the national championship semifinals. Now, coached by Gustavo Costas, they will visit La Bombonera to face Boca and fight for a spot in the final. After the win, Cambes showed humility and dedicated heartfelt words to his counterpart Gabriel Arias, who played his last match for Racing at the Cilindro de Avellaneda. 'I will be grateful for life. He is a captain in every sense of the word,' said the goalkeeper for the albiceleste team. 'He helped me a lot.'
