The technical director of Racing, Gustavo Costas, also known for being a passionate fan of the club, participated in a peculiar moment during the draw for the Group Stage of the Copa Sudamericana. The ceremony took place this Monday in Luque, Paraguay. Costas, 61 years old, was responsible for drawing the balls with the names of the teams participating in the international tournament.
The first ball he drew corresponded to Independiente, Racing's classic rival, with whom they drew 1-1 last Sunday in an exciting match. The video of the draw captured this curious and somewhat ironic moment for the coach.
Costas was invited to the event due to his role as the technical director of the last team that was crowned champion of the Copa Sudamericana. It is worth noting that Racing secured the title after defeating Cruzeiro from Brazil 3-1 on November 23 of last year.
Participating in this draw not only adds a special touch to Gustavo Costas's history but also provides a fun and unique detail to his journey as a coach and passionate supporter of Racing.
