The winner, with 6 points, now leads the zone and Boca with 3 points shares the second position with Always Ready, from Bolivia, and Deportivo Cali, from Colombia, who will play in La Paz next Thursday night.
The defeat is a new emotional blow for those led by Sebastián Battaglia and it will be seen in the next few hours how the “thermometer of sensations” remains with the coach in the leadership “xeneize” and what credit does he have after winning last weekend to Central Córdoba, as a visitor, by 2 to 1, in what was only a momentary respite for a very difficult situation.
As an incentive in his favor, he can put as a pretext the absences due to suspensions of Marcos Rojo, Carlos Izquierdoz, Diego González and Sebastián Villa, although it remains to be seen if it serves as an excuse to stay in his coaching chair, where after the fall of this night he is “wired” again.
Boca once again presented the scheme of three midfielders with a hitch, after having used a formation with three strikers in the last five games, against an opponent that was far from being “brilliant” and that showed limitations, who with more will than game He took three important points.
The team led tonight by Filipe Almeida in the absence of its head coach Vitor Pereyra, affected by coronavirus, deservedly won the game for knowing how to score at key moments against a rival who once again showed some “bursts” of their individualities, but not It was enough to beat a rival who didn’t have much left over either, but it was enough to win well.
In the second half, when Boca had more possession of the ball in the middle before Alan Varela’s entry and prowled around Cassio’s goal, a reply commanded by Roger Guedez in the face of a defensive error, again allowed Maycon to sentence the game
In the first minutes of the game and when the two teams were studying each other, the locals began a play on the right of their attack, the marker Fagner was projected and sent a center so that Maycon won the position from Advincula and with a header crossed down Garcia’s resistance was overcome. The same story repeated itself.
A story that had started badly for Boca because the first 15 minutes, with more attitude than game, the “Timao” took him ahead before the delirium of the more than 45 thousand “torcedores”.
The visitors suffered from the old mistakes of a midfield with many spaces and the gaps left behind by Guillermo “Pol” Fernandez.
Corinthians was more what he insinuated than what came in the offensive, only with an incursion with a strong shot by Fagner and another by Renato Augusto, a back and forth midfielder that was the highlight of the first half, but it did not provoke him another scare to Garcia.
Boca was more individual wills than team plays. Each start of Romero, Ramírez or Salvio was cut by the Corinthian midfielders with an infraction before a referee who began to fill the game with cards. There were five yellow cards for the locals and one for the visitors.
On top of that, because of these “copper mischievousness” the field of play was wet for a while before the match began and some Argentine players had a hard time standing up.
The only deep arrival of Battaglia’s in that stage was a good action by Salvio who gave in to Medina who launched a back cross from the right that Vazquez could not connect.
In the final part, Benedetto entered, who reached the third yellow card and will not be able to be against Always Ready in Bolivia, and the youthful Zeballos and Varela but there was more play but everything did not create risk situations for Cassio.
Boca’s next match will be against Always Ready in La Paz on Wednesday, May 4 at 9:00 p.m., for the fourth date of Group E of the Copa Libertadores.
Before that, they will face Barracas Central at home next Saturday at 7:00 p.m. date of the League Cup.
While Corinthians will also play on Wednesday, May 4 against Deportivo Cali in Colombia from 7:00 p.m., for the fourth date of Group E of the Cup.
