Mouth He won 3 to 0 Banfield at La Bombonera, with goals from Edinson Cavani, Miguel Merentiel and Jabes Saralegui, in a match corresponding to the 7th date of the Professional League 2024. The Xeneize won from start to finish in the match and settled in the standings, after playing the pending match that they had to, due to playing the Copa Sudamericana in parallel.
With the urgent need to change the image left in Córdoba (0-0 vs. Instituto), the Xeneize took to the field with a different dynamic of play. Against a Banfield full of youngsters, the local team showed from the start some nice associations with Pol Fernández, the debutant Agustín Martegani and Ezequiel Zeballos. From that football axis, the best of Boca was born. Thus, Diego Martínez’s team reached the first goal: Pol changed front, Luis Advíncula overflowed on the right, and Cavani, of course, scored a goal at the Bombonera.
The Uruguayan’s goal brought peace of mind to La Boca. The team from the South tried to create danger for Sergio Romero’s goal with their means. And they had their chance.

The 2-0 scoreline was too much for Banfield, who felt the blow of Merentiel’s goal and were never able to react. There was only time for the goal by the youngster Saralegui, at the end, to increase the statistics. Boca finally changed the image of the last matches, deservedly took the three points and settled in the standings of the Professional League.
