US EditionEstudiantes Beat Racing on Penalties to Claim Argentine Clausura Title
Estudiantes won their first title since 2010 after a 5-4 penalty shootout victory following a late equalizer and extra time in the Argentine Torneo Clausura final.
- On Dec 13, Estudiantes de La Plata clinched the Torneo Clausura final in Santiago del Estero after a 5-4 penalty shootout win over Racing Club led by Fernando Muslera's heroics.
- After Racing took the lead late in the game when Adrian Martinez capitalised on a defensive error, Guido Carrillo equalised in added time to send the match to extra time.
- Both goalkeepers made crucial interventions during the shootout, with Facundo Rodriguez converting the sudden-death penalty and Franco Pardo's effort diverted onto the post by Muslera.
- The victory ended a title drought for Estudiantes de La Plata since 2010, setting up a Champions Trophy clash with Platense, as Muslera said, `This team is incredible`.
- Amid recent controversy, Estudiantes had a difficult build-up to the final after Juan Sebastian Veron, Estudiantes president, and the starting lineup were suspended last month for refusing a guard of honour for Rosario Central.
