Boca Juniors, with a goal from Uruguayan Miguel Merentiel, tied 1-1 with San Lorenzo de Almagro at the close of matchday 12 of the League Cup played at the Nuevo Gasómetro.
In a highly disputed match, the Xeneizes led by Miguel Almirón took the lead in the second half after a good counterattack led by Valentín Barco who assisted the Uruguayan Merentiel who beat Augusto Batalla with a cross definition to make it 1-0.
But Insúa’s team reacted and reached the tie with a goal from Paraguayan Adam Bareiro at 74′ and then they had achieved the second in added time through Perrito Barrios, but it was annulled via Var due to an advanced position by Federico Girotti.
Cavani started and saw action throughout the match, while Merentiel with his celebration revalidated his status as the Auriazul’s top scorer in 2023, by reaching his 13th goal in 47 games.
Boca, which bet all its chips on the Libertadores, is in 11th place out of 14 in Zone B of the League Cup, nine points behind the leader Godoy Cruz, and needs to improve if it wants to qualify for the 2024 cups.
