He doesn't forgive in the box: goal by Paolo Guerrero for the 2-0 of Racing vs. Ñublense.

For the debut of Racing in the Group Stage of the Copa Libertadores, Paolo Guerrero received Fernando Gago's trust to start as a starter against Atlético Ñublense at the Municipal Alcaldesa Ester Roa Rebolledo Stadium in Concepción and the Peruvian striker - true to his style - did not disappoint: he scored a great goal to extend the lead (2-0) of the 'Academy'.

The play started with a quick attack by Racing and Gabriel Hauche's perseverance to steal the ball from the Chilean team. With the ball at his feet, the winger passed the ball to the 'Predator', who dribbled past the rival with a controlled header and finished skillfully against the goalkeeper's exit.

It is worth mentioning that the first goal of the Argentine team was a work of art and Paolo was involved in the play. After a throw-in from the home team, Racing recovered the ball: there was an attempt at control by Guerrero, and the ball ended up with Rojas. There, the Paraguayan touched it with his right foot and, surrounded by two opponents, he shot at goal from 65 meters. The ball flew, flew, and flew for a few seconds, and went in despite the effort of goalkeeper Nicola Alison Perez Barone.

Racing Club's objective for 2023

One of Racing Club's main objectives for this season will be to be a protagonist in the Copa Libertadores 2023. After coming close to winning the Argentine Professional League 2022, the directors of the 'Academy' aim high and want to make that leap at the international level.

For this last objective, the arrival of Paolo Guerrero (who is starting this Wednesday) will be key, as they trust that he can provide that level of hierarchy that every big team needs in their offense and generate spaces between opposing defenses to score as many goals as possible.
