Racing Club, which this year celebrated its 121st anniversary, achieved its greatest success since its foundation. It "bent" the Brazilian Cruzeiro (3-1) and won the Copa Sudamericana for the first time in its history. Thus, Racing ascended to the second-tier "throne" of Latin America for the first time!.


The Argentines of Gustavo Costas ... caught their opponents asleep at the start and laid a very solid foundation for victory. Just 15 minutes later, Torres opened the scoring. Almost a little later, in the 20th minute, Martinez doubled his team's goals.


Cruzeiro fought back, but all they managed to do was reduce the deficit with Caio Jorge in the 52nd minute, while Tobinson sealed the victory in stoppage time, making the final 3-1.

It is worth noting that the team also features 31-year-old Bruno Zuculini, who had also joined AEK Athens in 2016 on loan from Manchester City. Zuculini is a Racing native, having started his career there and returned this year, after six years at River Plate. He even played in the final, coming on in the 56th minute in place of Almendra.


Founded in 1903, Racing has been historically considered one of the Big Five clubs of Argentine football, , and is also known as El Primer Grande ("The First Great"), for becoming the first club in the world to win seven league titles in a row, first Argentine club to win a national cup, and the first world champion (Intercontinental Cup) Argentine club. Racing currently plays in the Primera division , the top division of the Argentine league system , and plays its home games at Estadio Presidente Perón, better known colloquially as El Cilindro  ("The Cylinder").
