Fall in Santa Fe against Unión. The locals won with a goal from Claudio Corvalán.
Boca could not add in the visit to Santa Fe, for the ninth round of the League Cup. One minute before the 90th mark, after a corner from Lucas Gamba headed by Claudio Corvalán, Unión scored the goal that gave them victory in an even match, with many fouls and interruptions.
The locals had the initiative in much of the first half, when they had two clear situations that Sergio Romero neutralized. Boca evened the actions in the second stage and was close to taking advantage with a left-footed shot by Kevin Zenón, deflected by the goalkeeper.
The result places Unión in qualifying positions for the final home run, with 15 points. Boca was left with 13 and will seek to increase that number next Sunday, when it receives Racing, from 9:30 p.m., at La Bombonera. Mouth Press

Diego Martínez, very self-critical of his Boca after the defeat with Unión: “It was our worst game.” The Xeneize coach assured that it was difficult for the team to generate play and chances against Tatengue, but he was optimistic about improving performance in the future.
Boca fell 1-0 against Unión de Santa Fe at the 15 de Abril stadium with a goal from Claudio Corvalán at the end, for the ninth round of the League Cup in Zone B, and coach Diego Martínez was self-critical in the post-match press conference, although at the same time optimistic about improving the team’s performance for the future.
“I’m not worried, I’m busy. We played the worst game. The team lacked fluidity, freshness. We faced an opponent who offered us duels and it was difficult for us to resolve them, Unión was superior in that part. In the second half it was even, but “We never managed to play as we would have wanted. I feel like it was our worst game and when you don’t play well it’s fair that you lose,” the technical director began.
Before the media after the match, Martínez analyzed the defeat: “That’s how the game happened. There were two possibilities against that line of five. Start lower to make them jump and then generate two against one between inside winger versus winger and midfielder, but it was difficult for us. We lacked fluidity. Luna Diale’s back, with his offensive vocation, was a place to receive, but the truth is that the duel that Unión proposed to us was imposed in the first half.”
And he added: “The second half was more even and it was going to be defined as it was defined, due to a stopped ball. Obviously, beyond a slight improvement in the second half, we did not like the game and we will seek to improve the performance when we play at home”.
Furthermore, the coach of the blue and gold team assured that what worried him most was that the team did not have freshness and explained: “It could be expected due to the proximity of games, due to the trip, but it was something very general in all lines, “We lacked that spark that the team had generated. These defeats hurt and you could see it from the boys. You could see that this was going to a draw… In general we didn’t like what we saw from the team.”
And he added: “These blows strengthen you as a group if you know where you want to go and this group shows us that it is clear, so surely the next game at home we will improve this image and seek victory. The gap between the teams called the most “The boys and the greats, but that doesn’t have to matter to us and we have to look for regularity of victories.”
In the post-match conference, Martínez regretted the absence of Equi Fernández due to injury: “The fact that Equi was not there is an important piece. The other day he was not there and the team solved it well, today it was difficult for us. We lacked freshness in the middle of the field, but not only because of Equi’s position, because of the midfielders and the individual duels that Unión proposed to us, it was difficult for us to play in the rival field. “It wasn’t a good game.” TYC
