Match
Summary
The match started slowly and heavily, with Boca Juniors waiting to see what would happen, and Racing still assimilating their new players (Maximiliano Romero, Juan Nardoni), so the match lacked desire and intent. Boca Juniors did not take a dominant role while Racing lacked intensity and aggression. Boca Juniors took the lead with a goal by defender Facundo Roncaglia but Johan Carbonero tied for Racing just three minutes later in an effective counterattack.Racing le ganó a Boca la Supercopa Internacional con un final polémico by Pablo Ramón at Olé.com.ar. 20 Jan 2023
After the goals, Racing gradually picked up the pace, with Maxi Rodríguez capitalising the disconnect between Pol Fernández and Luis Advíncula. On the opposite side, Maximiliano Moralez and Carbonero moved into that space, taking advantage of their speed. The Colombian striker had two chances, a right-footed shot from outside the penalty area that Javier García saved with a great effort, and a free kick that Boca Juniors goalkeeper saved again.
For the second half, manager Hugo Ibarra sent Ezequiel Fernández to the pitch with the aim of adding rough mark to the midfield zone. Nevertheless, Racing continued attacking with Carbonero who sent a long pass to Nicolás Oroz, and then García stopped a shot by Aníbal Moreno. Luca Langoni and Luis Vázquez came off the bench to strengthen Boca Juniors' attacking line, although the team focused on pressing and counterattack.
Racing had a second chance with a pass from Jonathan Gómez to Carbonero, who dribbled García but ran out of space to score. And then it was Boca Juniors who almost celebrated with a header from Agustín Sández after a corner kick that went just wide.
And when it seemed that Boca was getting stronger and Racing looked exhausted from going so much, a penalty kick was awarded to the team from Avellaneda that Gonzalo Piovi turned into a goal to set the definitive 2–1 that allowed Racing to claim their first Supercopa Internacional title.
