Mouth couldn’t get past the goalless draw against Defense and Justice. The game, enthralling from start to finish, turned out to be disappointing for Boca. It is the xeneize’s goal to win to reach San Lorenzo at the top of the Argentine league. However, they ended up in a draw that might as well have been a defeat. And not because of Sergio ‘Chiquito’ Romero’s insurance.
The historic goal of the albiceleste team made some important saves, especially in the first half, when Defensa y Justicia found more depth and created more than half a dozen clear goal situations, with couple that ended up hitting the poles. Boca also had two missed chances from the posts and knew how to cause danger, but not in the same amount.
As in the final of the Argentine Super Cup won against Patronato on Wednesday, Hugo Ibarra bet on the offensive trident composed of Luca Langoni, Darío Benedetto and Sebastián Villa. The problem is that Boca lost in midfield because none of the three returned. So, Defense finds too much space and advantage to think about every attack.
Beyond the events, it is to celebrate that the Argentine league gave such a game, open, without pettiness, with emotions. The only thing missing is the goal. Until the end they exchange attacks.
Heavy fall of Karera in Mendoza
The race suffered a blow in Mendoza. They arrived in an elevated position, with three consecutive victories, but fell 0-2 against Godoy Cruz, who opened the game after 50 seconds with a good move from the right and a cross from the back that became the goal of Tomás Conechny. The second came in the final period, after a free kick, from a corner shot by Salomón Rodríguez.
They could have scored a few more goals for Karera, as they surrendered at the back, especially in the final period when Fernando Gago took the risk of adding forwards and disarming the midfield. The Academy graduated with four forwards: Johan Carbonero, Paolo Guerrero, Nicolás Reniero and Gabriel Hauche. But it is not enough.
Monday’s other match was Belgrano’s 1-0 away win against Arsenal. Today, in the sixth day completed, the Argentine league has two leaders: Defensa y Justicia and San Lorenzo, 13 points. In second place, with 12, are Huracán, Talleres, Lanús and River. Boca has 11, third. Then, along with 10, Newell’s, Belgrano and Rosario Central. They have 9 Institutes, Argentines and Godoy Cruz. While there are 8 are Sarmiento, Tigre, Racing and Vélez.
