Boca returned to victory and reduced differences

Beyond the possible arrival of Edinson Cavani and Sergio Romero, Boca had to win and they did. The defeat of Atlético Tucumán, leader of the tournament, forced him. Now, the Argentine Cup. Then the classic vs. Racing.

The Xeneize was much more during the initial 45 minutes and imposed conditions. Unlike what happened in Paraná last week, those led by Hugo Ibarra were concentrated, tried to get closer to the rival goal and justified the difference obtained before halftime.

At 12 minutes, Óscar Romero executed a luxurious free kick and hung the ball in the upper left corner of goalkeeper Calamar. The Paraguayan rubbed the lamp and made the entire Bombonera delirious.

At the close of the initial stage, the 10 from Boca appeared at the far post and, after a great cross from Sebastián Villa, increased the difference and scored twice.

Saavedra’s men almost didn’t even get close to the goal defended by Agustín Rossi, who earned a new ovation before the start, and they felt too much the impact of playing again in Ribera after more than 20 years.

But as football has inexplicable things, Platense got into the match in the first 5 minutes of the complement and thanks to the goal converted by Nicolás Morgantini, after a neglect of the local fund, he narrowed the difference.

However, the discount did not embolden the group led by Omar De Felippe, who never found a way to complicate a Boca that put mystery to the result until the end.

With Martín Payero and Aaron Molinas on the court, in addition to Nicolás Orsini, who replaced a very weak Luis Vázquez, the last local champion tried to freshen up the offensive side, but he was far from his best version.

Under the unconditional encouragement of their audience, the Blue and Gold cast clung to victory and added three points that allow them to continue narrowing the gap with those above. Next weekend he will have to confirm what was done this weekend in Avellaneda.
