With suffering and a noose around his neck, Boca entered the semi-finals of the final tournament, after defeating Argentinos Juniors by a minimum.
This ranking was greatly celebrated, not only by the fans in the stands, but also by the players, the coaching staff and president Juan Roman Riquelme, who congratulated everyone from outside the penalty area.
Now, the team led by Claudio Úbeda, whose main goal this semester is to be crowned champion of Argentine football, will have to wait until the evening, as its rival will leave the match it will play with Avellaneda Racing and Tigre (see page 6).
Whoever is the opponent in the semi-finals, the match will be played next weekend in the Bombonera, where Boca, by finishing first in their group, have achieved the advantage of deciding all stages in front of their own people.
Boca was only two matches away from winning the championship again. This is the goal of the players and technical staff, who celebrated on the field their qualification to the semi-finals of the tournament.
Marchesian closed the bow
Agustín Marchesín was once again one of the standouts for his team and the game. He had three very good tackles, thus avoiding a drop from his own net.
Regarding the performance of the former Lanus goalkeeper, he went through yesterday’s match four times without conceding a goal, which indicates that his level is on the rise and that he left his mark on Boca’s goal.
After the end, he expressed this “We knew that Argentinos was a great team. But we knew how to do our job and play a very complex match. Boca is a very good team in every sense of the word. This allowed us to overcome another hurdle. We are getting closer, but we have to keep working.”.
