In a tiring first half – for Boca and the match – he was the only one who revealed himself in the face of monotony and the only three shots that went into the opponent’s goal were his own. The first was covered by Armani. The second goal too, but on the rebound, Changuito made it 1-0. It was a great goal because he had already left Rivero in the way with his devilish dribbling.
