Boca calmed the anger with a win against Platense

The Boquense victory came to fruition with goals from Nicolas Figal, Miguel Merentiel (both scored for the first time with the auriazul shirt) and Norberto Briascowhile the circumstantial parity of the visit was Nicholas Servetto.

The winner went from low to high in his performance, because he had a bad first half and a second half where his game and attitude improved.

At that stage, at times, he managed to show a different face from the lackluster one in the game he had in recent games, against a rival who played him equally in the first half, but which faded away in the end, while his rival grew up in the domain.

With good performances Oscar Romero, Ezequiel Fernandezthe opportunism of luca langoni and the good work of the admitted Christian Medinatook three points that “the Boca world” needed after that fall in Córdoba against Talleres,

The youth change Medina, 20 years old, for Alan Varela 17 minutes into the final stage, which the coach had already tested Hugo Ibarra At soccer practice last Thursday, he made “Equi” happen Fernandez to the position of central midfielder and that in the middle there would be another dynamic, since the admitted player provided intelligence and improved the transfer.

then entered briasco by langoni, who left due to physical discomfort, and the former Huracán took advantage of his opportunity and defined the match with a good individual play and a strong cross shot that was unattackable for Ignacio Arce.

At the end of the first period Mouth he left with the victory without deserving it, against a rival who with few merits complicated it and had situations to deserve at least equality in a barely discreet development.

Those led by Hugo Ibarra They came out as they always do at home, to try to beat their opponent with more attitude than game and supported by the pressure of their fans,

It seemed that it was working because at 9 minutes a corner kick taken by Oscar Romero, after a bad start from the goalkeeper Maple, connected it Figal to put your team ahead.

But two minutes later, after a bad start by Sergio “Chiquito” Romero, Franco Baldasarra received the ball, which enabled Servetto, who took advantage of the defensive doubts of Figal and the goalkeeper and put the logical equality.

There the match entered a cone of shadows where Boca wanted and could not, while Platense played his game, which was to populate the middle with four midfielders and wait for some defensive error from the opponent.

The premises depended on the individuality of the Paraguayan Romero, the only one clearly in the middle, while neither Varela not even the Fernández (Guillermo is still at a low level) gave a solution to a team that still did not find a line of play.

However, in another mistake by the Platense defense, a bad pass from Nicholas Morgantini to Gaston Susso the ball reached the feet of langoni, who ran with her from the middle of the court and when she came out Maple strong shot, saved the goalkeeper and onslaught Merentiel He converted his first goal with the “blue and gold” after three games.

Then the visitors had two clear situations due to bad starts from Sergio Romero and in the most drinkable Pignani finished off just wide.

At halftime, the winners took time to get out onto the playing field, because it is seen that the long talk in the coach’s locker room with his players this time served, since another Boca was seen, who, without being brilliant, was far superior to his rival and justified the victory.

The end of the game found Boca fans singing for their team and for Palermo, who as a coach could never beat the club that led him to glory as a player in eight games.

With this victory, the Ribera team has 7 units in the standings, which is led by Lanús with 12 points.
