Boca Juniors beat Independiente 2-0 at home for the last date of the Argentine Soccer Professional League, finishing fifth with 44 points and placing one of the qualifying places for the Copa Libertadores 2024, whose qualifiers will be defined in the second half of the season with the League Cup.
Exequiel Zeballos opened the scoring at 72′, six minutes after substituting the Uruguayan Miguel Merentiel, and defender Nicolás Valentini increased the difference at 77′ for those led by Jorge Almirón, who are waiting for the arrival of Edinson Cavani next week .
Between the two goals, Red, who is complicated in the table of averages thinking about permanence in the future, had a penalty kick, but goalkeeper Sergio Romero held it off Uruguayan Martín Cauteruccio at 75′.
