13 unbeaten for Racing
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 13 matches without defeat is a foundation Racing did not have in the autumn.

11 goals and a season average of 7.24. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Brian Olivera knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.
Match18 Sep 2027
1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
