La Bombonera exploded and victory over River became a tangible reality. There are only seconds left until the final whistle and Claudio Ubeda does the logical thing. He orders a change for Kevin Zenon until all the fans rave and give him a huge applause. Exquil Zeballos, from Santiago, deserved it more than anyone else, the scorer of the first goal and the manager of the second in the victory that He confirmed Boca’s qualification for the next Copa Libertadores tournament.
In an opaque first half where goal positions were almost non-existent, the right winger, who had to throw himself a few meters back to better communicate between the midfielders and the attackers, started like lightning to trace the diagonal line, ignoring Rivero and after finding the rebound in Armani made the score 1 to 0. Later in the second half It was the key For the second service to Merintil.

This edition of the Superclásico showed that they are back The one facing the number 7, which dribbles forward to open paths, creating imbalance and creating goalsone of the most valuable assets in football.
Ubeda’s virtue, in this case, is to trust in his potential again. With two “tank” 9’s like Merentiel and Giménez, the Changito They are so entrenched that they seem irreplaceable. He has made some very impressive tackles in recent days, converting and providing assists, and was even able to recover from a penalty kick that hit the post in the match against Estudiantes.
Zeballos is once again shining like he was in those early days when he featured in November 2020 in Boca’s Premier League. Hot, fast, irreverent. I applaud this return of all Argentine football.
