Liga de Quito won the Copa Sudamericana in an agonizing final against Fortaleza. The Ecuadorian team lifted the trophy for the second time in its history and found an offensive leader in Paolo Guerrero for a new conquest of the continent.
Edwin Cardona, who was a teammate of the Peruvian striker in Racing, congratulated him after the final in Uruguay and used the opportunity to criticize Fernando Gaga, the coach who did not have two players in the Avellaneda team.
After the match, Paolo Guerrero went live on Instagram in the middle of the title celebration. “Brother, congratulations. And the one you know didn’t put you. Here you go,” Edwin Cardona told him, referring to the forward’s time with the Argentine team.
The Peruvian closed his time at Racing with 3 goals in 22 games played. Despite being in the rotation for Fernando Gaga, the 39-year-old only appeared in 8 games as a starter and played a total of 847 minutes. He ended up terminating his contract and later joined Liga de Quito.
Even Edwin Cardona did not do well with the Argentine team. The Colombian midfielder was deleted from the team by Gago who put pressure on the club management to find him another team. “Cardona was a disappointment, because I bet on him. I don’t take responsibility, which is entirely mine,” said Víctor Blanco, the president of Racing, a few months ago.
Although Fernando Gago remained in charge of the Academy for some time, the classic defeat against Independiente meant his last game as the team’s coach. Former coach Aldosivi has been without a club since October 1. (D)
