Belgrano wasted a great chance to get a hold of third position after going down to an efficient
display by the visiting team. The home team started positively and were trying to take the game to
Quilmes but this only lasted for 10 minutes. Giampietri (Q) gradually started to boss the midfield
and spread the ball out to the wingers.

It was always going to be a tall order against the leaders at their home ground but Belgrano must
have left disappointed knowing that they had everything to win the match and yet they let it slip
from their hands. The first twenty minutes saw Belgrano produce the best chances against a solid
but ineffectual San Martin.

Belgrano will be happy after snatching an unlikely draw against a superior Racing Club outfit.

Heartbreak. When you know you were so close and it just vanished. Because Belgrano played with
heart, passion and discipline and dominated Racing Club during large passages of the game. Belgrano
had no less than four clear goal chances and they pushed Racing to their limit but it just wasn't
going to happen today.
