Tigre victory Racing defeat Clausura match Diego Milito protest Santiago Sosa transfer

Tigre defeated Racing 3-1 at the Cilindro de Avellaneda in a Torneo Clausura 2026 match. Tigre’s goals came from Ignacio Russo (two) and Martín Garay, while Racing’s lone goal was a consolation by Duván Vergara. The game featured high pressing from Tigre, defensive lapses by Racing and a hostile reaction from the home crowd, with fans whistling and insulting Racing president Diego Milito.

Ahead of kickoff, Racing supporters gave a standing ovation to midfielder Santiago Sosa, who is set to leave the club for Brazilian side Vasco da Gama in a deal worth about US$6 million. The transfer awaits the presentation of guarantees and is expected to be confirmed on Monday, prompting speculation that president Diego Milito will look for a replacement in the market.
