Boca arrived as leader on the final day of Langoni’s hand

Boca seems to have collapsed. With Darío Benedetto sent off in tears in the first few minutes, another casualty due to muscle problems was added in the second half, that of Frank Fabra, who until then had been a standout for the overflowing left-footed shot that meant victory for 0-1.

Furthermore, barely substituted by the Colombian, Gimnasia equalized with a header from Leonardo Morales. However, the xeneizes rose, gave an immense display of personality and secured a victory that allowed them to arrive at the last date of the Argentine league as exclusive leaders. They did it again with a shout from their last appearance from the quarry, Luca Langoni… Now the morbid show comes to the final chapter.

Boca-Independiente and Racing-River, on Sunday

On Sunday at 10 pm Spanish time, the league will begin to define with a classic double that is overwhelmed by suspicions. Boca, the leader with 51 units, will be local against Independiente and Racing, second with 50 points, will host River. The success of xeneize left Huracán with no chance…

Then the ghosts flew away. Will Rojo go all out knowing he can hand the title to his academy nemesis? Will the millionaires give it their all because they know they can make way for their superclassic rival?

All will be seen on Sunday. Now the noise was made by Boca, who closed with a smile the 81 minutes pending that match on the 23rd that was suspended due to incidents between the police and local fans that led to the death of a Gimnasia fan.

Boca reacted to the loss

The xeneizes are celebrated in the Bosque de la Plata. After stumbling at the weekend against Newell’s despite playing an hour with an extra man, Hugo Ibarra’s side bounced back and showed their ability to come out strong in adversity.

With two injured outside references, the face in Boca was given again by the young Luca Langoni, one of the healthy xeneizes showing in this championship. The boy, author of important goals, again built a decisive celebration. This is the sixth. His annotations allow Boca to add 11 units. What an influence.

Langoni, key again

This time after a shot by Sebastián Villa on the post and a save by Rodrigo Rey against a shot by Pol Fernández, all in the same action. That’s where Langoni comes in to find the rebound and turn it into a resolution that could cost a title.

Although he did not create many goal situations, Gimnasia, who dreamed of a victory to ensure qualification for the 2023 Copa Libertadores, searched until the end and did not deserve to lose. “It was unfair,” said his coach Néstor Gorosito.

Gymnastics complains about VAR

People from La Plata also complained that VAR did not review a possible penalty play by Carlos Zambrano against Eric Ramírez in the first half.

Boca will have time to assess the impact of Benedetto and Fabra’s injuries. What he celebrates is that he reached the final date depending on himself. There is another title in sight. The problem is that Racing wants it too. And that everything will be resolved in a morbid scenario, flooded with suspicion. From there will come the next champion of Argentine soccer.
