📉 'Maravilla' Martínez's scoring slump deepens Racing crisis

📉 'Maravilla' Martínez's scoring slump deepens Racing crisis Racing Club is going through one of its worst footballing spells in recent years. With just five points earned in the Clausura Tournament, La Academia’s poor run has coincided with Adrián “Maravilla” Martínez’s pronounced scoring drought, as he has found the net only once all semester.
