Mouth Juniors thrashed this afternoon central barracks 3-0 as a visitor on the ninth date and rounded off his best match in the Professional League of Soccer (LPF), directed interim by Mariano Herron after the dismissal of Hugo Ibarra.
It took a while for “Xeneize” to settle his commitment at the Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia stadium with goals from Agustin Dattola against (28m.), Luca Langoni (33m.) and captain Guillermo “Pol” Fernández (41m.), one of the high points in his performance.
The victory, in addition to supporting him in the local tournament, meant a positive sign before his debut in the Libertadores Cupwho will assume next Thursday against Monagas in Venezuela, again with the DT of the Reserve on the substitute bench.
Boca, with 14 units, remained seven behind the leader River Plate and ended a streak of three games without winning after the tie with Defensa y Justicia and the defeats against Banfield and Instituto de Córdoba.
Herrón was very active on the lime line to prop up a team structured in a 4-3-3 with the Colombian Sebastián Villa and Langoni open in search of width in the attack.
Boca finished settling in after a quarter of an hour of play against a rival who was disorderly under pressure and based on the push of Facundo Mater from the right or on the inspiration of a devalued Ricardo Centurión on the opposite band.
After insinuating with his first visits to Andrés Desábato’s area, Boca arrived at the opening with the vision of “Pol” Fernández, who put Darío Benedetto in a goal situation with an empty pass. The “Pipa” defined crossed before the goalkeeper and had the complicity of Dattola so that the ball corrected its course and entered the goal.
The goal strengthened Boca, consolidated the trend of the game and made possible the premature definition of the match. Villa, in the version of his best days, was unbalancing on the left side and served Langoni’s second goal with the stainless formula overflow-centre back.
The high confidence of Herrón’s team was exposed in the collective play for the third goal, in which Villa, Benedetto and “Pol” participated, in charge of the sentence with a precise left-footed shot as he entered the area.
Barracas, with his weakest average after four games without victories, did not hit any reaction, apart from the changes ordered by his DT Rodolfo De Paoli. The game was always an abyss both on the scoreboard and in the game.
Boca lowered its intensity in the second half but without losing the image of a recovered team, with a good touch and ability to accelerate when spaces appeared in the opponent’s field.
Herrón started early with the rotation of soccer players already thinking about the Libertadores. Langoni, with a blow, did not come out in the second half and Benedetto left the field at 16 minutes, shortly before Villa (19m.) and “Pol” Fernández (20m.) lost the chance of the fourth.
The Boca captain also left the field with a slight bruise, but not before expressing his commitment to the team, by throwing himself to the ground to recover a ball, which earned him a yellow card.
The last 15 minutes were consumed with a more withdrawn Boca, careful to keep the fence at zero and waiting for what their freshest players (Briasco, Merentiel, Romero and “Equi” Fernández) could generate.
Without more emotions, the end left as good news the recovery of the level of several of the footballers before the start of the international season. Herrón was the great winner of the afternoon and given the lack of definition of Ibarra’s successor, the question is becoming more and more vigorous: does he continue?
