And in the quarterfinals they eliminated Racing.
Boca has 15 points left to play and is 4 below Platense, which at the moment is the last one to qualify for the quarterfinals—the first four in each group advance. But in the middle there are 5 other teams, among them Sarmiento, which has a more contested match.
How Racing arrives at the match with Boca
Racing is sixth in Zone B of the League Cup with 13 points, with three wins, four draws and two losses, which precipitated the departure of its former coach Fernando Gago, at the end of September.
