Racing Club beat Sarmiento 3-1 at the Cilindro de Avellaneda in the Liga Profesional, ending a negative run, according to TyC Sports. The result, reported by the Argentine federation's website, gave coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda a measure of relief and left him hopeful about his side's next match against Boca Juniors.
Vojvoda described the feeling as "a relief" after the win snapped the team's poor stretch, ESPN Argentina reported. Speaking about the performance, he said he sees a team with personality, a comment carried by TyC Sports.
The victory was framed by TyC Sports as an important one for Racing, and coverage from Página 12 noted the club was smiling again at its home ground in Avellaneda. The reports did not include further details of the match or Vojvoda's full remarks.
The win matters for Racing beyond the three points, given the negative run it interrupted. Vojvoda's comments point to confidence returning to the squad before a demanding fixture against Boca Juniors, one of the league's traditional powers.
