Racing shaken as Vojvoda makes two substitutions after just 30 minutes

Racing endured a nightmare first half against Atlético Tucumán at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, prompting coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda to take an extraordinary decision: two substitutions after only 30 minutes. The team looked passive from the opening whistle and fell behind in the 24th minute, a moment that convinced Vojvoda drastic action was needed. Matko Miljevic was the first to be withdrawn, reacting poorly and initially heading toward the dressing room before teammates urged him to stay on the bench. Ulises Ortegoza followed, having conceded a penalty earlier in the match, though he accepted the decision calmly.

The changes produced the desired response, with Racing attacking more convincingly after the break and finding an equaliser in the 75th minute. However, their efforts were undone in stoppage time when Rodríguez scored the winner for Atlético Tucumán. The defeat leaves Racing bottom of the Clausura table, with only five points from eight matches.
