The absences of Marcos Rojo and Carlos Izquierdoz allowed Carlos Zambrano be a starter this Tuesday night in Boca Juniors in duel against Deportivo Cali, in a new edition of the Copa Libertadores. The Lion stood in the rear with all the willingness to keep the position; however, an injury forced him to leave the field.
The Peruvian defender had to leave the field of the Estadio Deportivo Cali at minute 43 of the first half, after suffering an apparently muscular injury. Zambrano was even removed on a stretcher and set off the alarms in the Xeneize. His place was taken by Nicolás Figal.
Zambrano, throughout the time he played, was key to blocking Yony González in a play produced at minute 14, after a rude mistake by goalkeeper Agustín Rossi, The Peruvian national team player also appeared in a timely manner in the area and saved to the ‘Xeneize’.
