Both of them Pablo Chavarría's — 8.86
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.86, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Brian Olivera stands alone
7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Alan Olinick pops up at the right end — 7.37
7.37, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Nobody could get near Matías Machado
Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Words exchanged at Racing
Alejandro Rébola and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match15 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Racing and Gimnasia y Tiro in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Pablo Chavarría sends Racing past Gimnasia y Tiro
It finished 4‑2, and it was Pablo Chavarría’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Racing.

Words at Racing training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ricardo Centurión is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Inhulets watching Joel Erlinch
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Racing have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
