Tension at the beginning, tranquility after a while. This was the duel between Boca Juniors and The Strogest that left Russo’s team with the second place in their group in the second round of the Conmebol Libertadores, after the triumph by three goals to zero.
Boca from the go squeezed the Bolivian team, Agustín Almendra took advantage of a pass from the right area to splice the ball, without letting it stop to put the first in the Bombonera, without much resistance from Vaca, crossbar and in the background. Despite having the ball for much of the first half, the shots on goal were scarce, one or another attempt by Villa from the wing and Cardona, but without much success.
The author of the goal was injured about half an hour of play, instead, the Colombian Jorman Campuzano entered. The Bolivians began to knock on Andrada’s door, taking advantage of the distraction of the defensive zone. The scare came in somewhat annulled to the Argentines.
Combination of the Colombian trident of Boca, Cardona generated the action to enable, with great technical quality, a caress to encompass it in the direction of Fabra, who connected with Sebastián Villa in a pass to the area of the small area, entering only to touch her and change her trajectory.
The classification of the xeneizes began to be sealed in an own goal by Juan Valverde, in a neglect of the defensive sector. The curious image of the meeting was when the central referee of the commitment had to be replaced, Roberto Tobar presented discomfort, in his place, Nicolás Gamboa entered.
The victory left Boca Juniors with second place in the group, with ten points, three behind the leader Barcelona of Ecuador who defeated Santos and sent him to third place, taking the place to Sudamericana by goal difference.
