The way from mouth in it Final tournament came to a crashing halt in the semifinals candy box in front of one Run with a lot of craftsmanship and cunning. The team’s defeat Claudio Ubeda This is explained by the low level of its players, especially the attacking players, the low – and weak – participation of Leandro Paredes in the game and an inexplicable change in the coach, who decided to remove Exequiel Zeballos and install Alan Velasco. With this, Xeneize ended an unforgettable 2025, without a title and with three eliminations on its field: Alianza Lima for the Libertadores playoffs, Independiente in the Apertura and now Racing.
The Boca goalkeeper didn’t have much to do on Bombonera night and could do little about Maravilla Martínez’s goal. Discreet performance, far from what she had shown.
The right-back failed to reach Rojas’ center, resulting in a 1-0 lead. Little in attack – almost always uncontrolled – and weak in defense: the best opponents came through their sector.
He seemed strong from above and below, but very hesitant. He lost balls on the way out, which posed great danger to his team. He didn’t have a good game and didn’t even score a goal in the goal game against Maravilla Martínez.
One of Boca’s best, although it appears in the photo with the great definition of Adrián Martínez. He is strong and courageous, he anticipates and is fast. He even grabbed the spear to attack when the team had no idea how to get to the Cambeses goal.
He had a better first half than the second. He did not take part in the attack and his efforts into the penalty area were missed. In a nutshell it was correct.
The Chilean played well in the first half, he was one of the few who showed some of his repertoire and put the opposing defense in trouble. It was then diluted as usual. He still has to make the leap in quality and consolidate himself in the team.
Permanent spare for a team that had a lot of bumps this Sunday. He can’t do it alone. He fell into the team’s apathy and his victim couldn’t contribute to his good passing because he couldn’t find receivers. It ended a good year.
The world champion’s worst game since his return to Boca. He wasn’t there, he didn’t participate, he wasn’t attracted. He misses simple passes, sometimes – even – he abuses his quality for plays that require simpler ball movement. Above all, he did not lead the team as he had done before. He was the big absentee from the game for Boca.
El Changuito was Boca’s most unbalanced player with his always incomprehensible dribbling. He complicated his rivals on the left and caused fouls near the penalty area to create danger. And the second half started with a few shots from the left that reminded us of the game with River. In the 26th minute of the game, Úbeda stripped the ball and the reaction of the fans in the stadium was unprecedented: “No!”
The Uruguayan is far from his best level. He doesn’t come into play, he doesn’t ask for the ball, he doesn’t get to it when he runs behind the central defenders. He doesn’t shoot at goal or create goal-scoring situations. In the second half he took a good shot with a low cross that Giménez couldn’t define. The Beast must rediscover his football and regain self-confidence.
Sacrifice and strength to fight anyone; but for playing, very little. Sometimes the ball bounces off him. It made people angry. He blocked several lockers.
He hadn’t played for almost two months because of a strained ligament in his right knee. From that penalty miss against Alianza Lima to that final defeat against Racing, a dark year came to an end for the top reinforcements that Boca brought with them.
