Boca had their party at the Bombonera in the Superclásico and Exequiel Zeballos achieved his dream and his afternoon dedication in the blue and gold jersey. El Changuito, the club-trained kid who always threatened to become a star and had to contend with two serious injuries at the dawn of his career, is having his moment of glory and was the star of Claudio Úbeda’s side with a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win over River. Ayrton Costa and Milton Delgado were other highlights on the field, which was very even and continues to rise.
The Boca goalkeeper gave a calm performance in the first half and appeared confident after two shots from outside the area. In the second half, he raised doubts when he tried to clear a cross with his fist and left the ball alive in the area. He then picked up the centers that came into his area well.
Since River played without a left pointer, they had no problems with the mark in the first half, although Maxi Salas always tried to beat him. He continued to attack wisely and did not make any mistakes. Good job.

Very assertive in the air and strong to keep Miguel Borja off the pitch when the Colombian came on in the second half. The only blemish was a yellow card that arrived a minute late due to a break with Salas. But in the second half, although he played under a warning, he played in a classy manner.
The left centre-back has performed at European level. He is fast, strong, never loses from the top, and lifts people to the top. He also has good driving ability to get off the bottom. Great game from the Quilmes born.
Similar to Barinaga, since River played as a midfielder he has not had a specific mark. He always won the duel against Gonzalo Montiel and had a great game in the second half to leave Milton Jimenez alone. He must regain his good punch to be able to hit crosses.
Great game from the Chilean, perhaps his best performance in Boca. Because he added to his quality and dribbling the sacrifice necessary to occupy a position in the midfield of the Bombonera in the Superclásico. He left exhausted and received well-deserved applause.
Dynamics and speed. The young player once again showed a high level, as happened in the U-20 World Cup. He always covers Leandro Paredes’ back and is very accurate in making that forward pass.
He is Boca’s captain and leads the team under his belt. He missed some passes, which is unusual for him. In the first half, he was not comfortable with the viscous monitoring from the River players. In the second half, he stood up, left, and applauded.
The number on the pitch, always unbalanced and with a brilliant goal that opened the match at the end of the first half and an unforgettable assist to end the duel at the start of the second half. He took it apart and made it into an idol.
An afternoon you’ll never forget: words by Changito Zeballos, figure in Boca’s 2-0 win over River at La Bombonera.

In the first half, he almost did not touch the ball, but in the second half, he sent the ball to be blocked, making the score 2-0. He is very loved by people and brings speed and sacrifice. At the moment they are sticking to the goal, but they must raise their level.
The tank is key to carrying the ball up and clashing with opposing centre-backs. He appeared to foul Paulo Diaz for Boca’s first goal, but it was a very nice play. Then he almost missed two goals under the net that would have put a damper on the match.
The Basque is a guarantee: he brings experience and a good touch on the ball. In addition, he is a coach on the field.
He played a few minutes and gave air to Boca’s midfield when River were pressing for the opposition.
He came on to close down the left wing when Montiel was left alone several times and threatened to give the visitors an opponent. correct.
It was a pleasure to play in the final minutes and one of his plays could have ended in a penalty for handball, but Ramires refused.
