Racing Club Avellaneda 2:1 Gimnasia Y Esgrima La Plata — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Matko Miljevic scored one and set up another as Racing Club came from behind to beat Gimnasia y Esgrima 2-1 in the Superliga, a result that sends them into a key fixture with Rosario Central. The home side had to dig deep after falling behind midway through the first half.

Racing struck early when Miljevic turned in Santiago Solari’s cross after six minutes, but Gimnasia hit back through Bautista Barros Schelotto’s unassisted finish on 32 minutes. A VAR check for Racing shortly after did not yield a penalty, yet the hosts kept pressing and finally reclaimed the lead when Nazareno Colombo headed home Miljevic’s delivery in the 69th minute.

Gimnasia outplayed the winners on expected goals, generating 1.85 xG to Racing’s 1.22, though the visitors managed only nine shots to Racing’s 18. The hosts controlled possession with 56% and dominated the second half entirely, limiting Gimnasia to 0.13 xG after the break. Matko Miljevic was the standout with a rating of nine out of ten, scoring once and providing the decisive assist from midfield. CheckLive’s model rated Gimnasia the clearer side, but the result did not confirm that forecast, and live signals correctly backed Racing at 1.18. Next up is a trip to Rosario Central on July 29.
