After 29 minutes of an initial stage of 41, left back Frank Fabra opened the scoring by stepping into the area after a cross from the right wing and overcame the resistance of goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey.
Already in the complement, a header by Leonardo Morales complicated the panorama for “Xeneize” at 11 minutes, but again the youthful Luca Langoni led Hugo Ibarra’s team to a key victory by converting the winning goal at 20 minutes.
The resumption of the match showed Gymnastics at the level of the championship leader and a very even development of the game, with situations for both teams, which was defined as a result of the individual hierarchy.
Óscar Romero was the figure of Boca and Langoni, once again, became an essential piece for those led by Ibarra in the head-to-head fight with Racing for consecration in the Professional League.
The locals searched until the last moment, with a completely offensive lineup arranged by Néstor “Pipo” Gorosito, but Boca resisted and took over the three points that gave them back the lead.
With this result, Boca returned to the top of the standings with 51 points and surpassed Racing, which is second with 50, while Huracán, with 47, ran out of chances to fight for the title next Sunday.
In this way, the two defining duels of the last date of the tournament will be Boca-Independiente and Racing-River, both starting at 17.
Gimnasia, for its part, could not secure qualification for next year’s Copa Libertadores and will have to ratify its ticket against Talleres de Córdoba on the same day at 2:30 p.m. at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium.
