While looking for a coach, while not knowing if finally Fernando Gago will leave Chivas de Guadalajara to take that position which has been vacant since the resignation of Diego Martínez, Boca trying to rebuild himself. And with the birth of that recomposition, which has Mariano Herrón as interim coachsomehow he drew a smile that served as relief, representing some oxygen.
Boca won. It is not beneficial for him to fight in the league, but he needs it to remain dependent on the Libertadores classification zone of the annual table. Moreover, since it was the return to Bombonera after a very hard fall in the River, that afternoon where Sergio Romeroended up fighting with the plateistas, in the same place where this Sunday Edinson Cavani He exchanged warm greetings with the fans, who thanked him for his great production and for the contract extension until December 2026 that was signed that week.
Boca celebrated a 1-0 victory over Argentinos at home. A scream hit him Miguel Merentiel in the first half. It was still a match with many goal situations, including the L goalkeepersAndrew Brey (Chiquito’s replacement seems very sensible) and Diego Rodríguez covers some. Of course, the xeneizes are worthy, because of the comparison of the risk generated they took advantage. This way they will wait for the definition of the new coach more calmly.
Knowing that leader Vélez won an important match against Carrera on Saturday for the teams dreaming of the title, River went out in search of victory in their visit to Platense, but things did not go well against Vicente López.
The group of Marcelo Gallardo’s draw ended at 0-0 cwith a moderate Platense and a little distance from the lead. Now he is 11 points behind Vélez! The conquest of the League for millionaires seems impossible.
Beyond the result, the Doll also watched with concern his game of the River, which did not flow. It was difficult for him to generate even in the second half, when he included the players Franco Mastantuono and Claudio Echeverri to join them with Manuel Lanzini, who is a starter. But there is no case. And a goalless draw for River left a taste of defeat.
Other good performers this Sunday in the Argentine league were Independiente, who beat lowly Deportivo Riestra 3-1 in the Libertadores de América and gave the coach peace of mind Julio Vaccariwho looked evil.
Santiago Montiel He was the most outstanding in the Red: he scored two goals. The second was a delight: a left-footed free kick that hit the crossbar and went in. The third did it Gabriel Avalos. This is a victory that does not help Independiente to dream of the championship. This is very far from that discussion.
The other two greats played on Saturday. Carrera and its aforementioned 0-1 loss against Vélez that keeps it out of the race for the lead. And the San Lorenzo of Iker Muniain, who lost 0-2 to Córdoba of the Instituto, leaving a terrible image that puts his coach on the brink of the abyss Leandro Romagnoli.
In the end, this Argentine league began to wink at the best team, Vélez, who is the leader with 36 points. Escorts are Huracán and Talleres with 31. There are 10 dates left. At the bottom are River and Racing with 25, while Boca has 24, Independiente has 22 and San Lorenzo only 17. Yes, this championship is not for big teams.
