The Avellaneda derby (Spanish: Clásico de Avellaneda) is the second-most important rivalry in Argentine football. It is contested between Independiente and Racing Club.

It is the second-most important local derby, behind the Superclásico contested between Boca Juniors and River Plate, which are both based in the city of Buenos Aires. The Avellaneda derby is a major football rivalry. Both teams are very popular in Argentina, and are two of the "five big teams of Argentinian football."

History

Both clubs were founded in the early years of the 20th century, Racing on 25 March 1903 and Independiente on 1 January 1905. Independente were founded in Buenos Aires and moved to Avellaneda in 1907.

• The first encounter between Independiente and Racing (reserve teams) was on 9 June 1907, with Independiente winning 3–2 when both clubs were competing in lower divisions. Independiente wore a white with blue pocket shirt while Racing wore a squared pink and light blue shirt (both were their first official colours). Independiente and Racing senior squads played against for the first time in Segunda División in 1910. The match was won by Independiente 1–0.
• The first Primera División match was played on 12 December 1915 at Crucecita Stadium (Independiente's venue) where the local team won 2–1, but the result was overturned and Racing were awarded the victory. The two points from that game were enough for Racing to go on to win the 1915 championship.
• Racing Club dominated Argentine football during the 1910s, winning more titles than any other surviving team during those years; between 1913 and 1921 Racing won 20 titles to Independiente's 3 in the same period of time.
• Racing Club's dominance extended into the 1950s where they became the first team (in the professional era) to win three consecutive championships (1949, 1950 and 1951).
• In 1964, Independiente became the first Argentine team to win the Copa Libertadores.
• In 1967, Racing Club became the first Argentine club to win the Copa Intercontinental; this achievement marked the end of Racing Club's supremacy.
• Between 1972 and 1975, Independiente won an unprecedented four consecutive Copa Libertadores titles.
• In 1984, Independiente won their seventh Copa Libertadores, earning them the nickname "King of Cups."
• In 2001, Racing Club won the Apertura, their first league title in 35 years.
• The most recent local title earned by either of the two clubs was the 2018-19 Argentine Primera División, won by Racing Club.
• In 2017, Independiente won their second Copa Sudamericana, the last international title earned by either team.
• In 2019, Racing achieves its second local league in 5 years and the "champions trophy", a national cup.

Violence

The November 26, 1961, saw the most violent game between the two clubs, the referee was forced to suspend the game for 6 minutes due to fighting amongst the players. The referee eventually sent off 4 players from each team. The game ended in a 1–1 draw.

On August 13, 2006, the Avellaneda derby was abandoned after violence between the fans escalated out of control. Independiente were winning 2–0 in Libertadores de America when rioting started in the away stands. The Racing fans then started to attack the police, the game was eventually abandoned by referee Horacio Elizondo. The three points from the game were eventually awarded to Independiente.
