Outstanding performance
Racing Club•DefenderRacing Club rescued a dramatic point at home against Independiente Rivadavia in a match that swung decisively on Matko Miljevic's 31st-minute red card. The visitors looked to be heading for a famous victory when Matías Fernández capitalized on a swift counterattack to give them the lead eight minutes after halftime, despite being down to ten men. However, Racing's numerical advantage eventually told as substitute Tomás Conechny rose to head home Gabriel Rojas' corner with 12 minutes remaining. The draw maintains Racing's unbeaten home record but represents two points dropped in what could prove crucial in the title race, while Rivadavia will feel they deserved more after a disciplined defensive display following the early dismissal.
