Parity was the one that identified the development of a match that had Argentinos Juniors with possession of the ball from their superiority in the middle of the field and Boca, even with his usual soccer inexpressiveness, that which has dragged on since the time of Miguel Russo and was extended to his successor, Sebastián Battaglia, hinting at danger every time the ball prowled the vicinity of his three leading men.
The three of them, the reappeared Sebastián Villa, the always dangerous center-forward Luis Vázquez and Cristian Pavón from Córdoba, were a “sword of Damocles” that Boca brandished on the defense of Argentinos, although they were never fine during the first stage to strike the blow that cut with the last line of Argentinos.
In these two football versions as different as the identity of both coaches, those of Gabriel Milito were the ones who were closer to opening the scoring from a shot on the right post by Gabriel Carabajal and a stack of the renewed Nicolás Reniero than Agustín Rossi He saved by taking out his right hand when the former San Lorenzo and Racing Club bit it towards the net, vindicating himself for his failed action against Gimnasia.
But barely after 10 minutes of the complement, fortune leaned towards the side of the “xeneizes” when a free kick from the right made by Villa could not be connected by defenders or forwards in its crossing through the mouth of the small area and ended in Vázquez, whose touch with his open right foot scored the goal as the ball entered the left post of the goal defended by Federico Lanzillota.
That initially mentioned balance made the result appear unfair, and that feeling was heightened for La Paternal’s when just five minutes later the referee Fernando Echenique annulled a goal from Argentinos for an apparent advanced position of the goal scorer, Reniero, so complex to warn how to interpret regulations.
This provoked the supreme anger not only from the Argentine players but also from their own coaching staff, which caused the expulsion of Milito and the admonition of captain Miguel Torrén, who was gesturing towards the Boca bench with the eloquent gesture of putting his fist right on the palm of the left hand.
Immediately afterwards Argentinos lost his best figure of the night, Carabajal, with a discomfort in the left hamstring, replaced by the substantial Jonathan Gómez, but the “Bug” did not resign himself to seek the parity that would at least lead him to the definition by penalty kicks.
It was and was Argentinos, while in Boca the entrance of Lisandro López for an injured Carlos Zambrano received an ovation, demonstrating how much the former defender of Arsenal, from Sarandí, is loved by the public.
But this new match format had to be at the request of Boca, since they had a lot of room to take advantage of the speed of Pavón and Villa in pursuit of a counterattack that would settle the lawsuit.
But the Cordovan and the Colombian were “absent” in Mendoza, since they did not generate any risk situation during their entire stay on the court (Pavón left with the time fulfilled).
However, with the aforementioned, with very little, Boca was able to become a finalist in the Argentine Cup after a very difficult week, exacerbated by the defeat at home against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in the Professional League and the subsequent “reprimand” of his vice president, Juan Román Riquelme, present today in Mendoza, making the soccer players get off the bus when they were leaving the Bombonera.
It was a triumph for Boca, who celebrated the 33rd birthday of its captain, Carlos Izquierdoz, the call for the Argentine national team of the midfielder Cristian Medina (also of the substitute Exequiel Zeballos), the recovery of Rossi after the unnecessary penalty committed to the Colombian Johan Carbonero who It cost him the defeat against Gimnasia, along with this pass to a final in which Talleres, from Córdoba or Godoy Cruz, from Mendoza will wait for him, who will meet in the other semifinal next Friday the 12th in San Luis.
