Boca Juniors defeated Huracán 1-0 tonight, which sinks into relegation by the Annual Table, with a good performance by the local team and with a goal from Luis Vázquez, one of the figures of this match of the 24th. date of the Professional League in which the “xeneise” team with these three points climbed to the last place in the classification zone for the Copa Sudamericana 2024.
As in the Dr Jekyll and Mister Hyde novel, this Boca by Jorge Almirón has two faces, one as a local and the other as a visitor, in which he has never won since his arrival, he showed his best version tonight. The same team -with only two changes-, that four days ago in Santa Fe against Unión did not kick a shot on goal, today had moments of lucidity in their performance, helped by the difficult moment of this Hurricane in decline by Annual Table and ago nine dates he can’t win.
The figures of the logical winner were his scorer, Vazquez, the youthful Valentín Barco and Cristian Medina, his assistant. From the beginning of the match, the locals went out to stand in the opponent’s field.
This time Almirón proposed a 4-4-2 to solve the lack of wingers (the injured Luca Langoni, Exequiel Zeballos and Norberto Briasco are still absent, the most recovered who was among the substitutes and played the last minutes against his club).
The coach put Miguel Merentiel as a winger on the right sector of the attack, Vázquez as a winger and Barco on the other side as in recent games.
Huracán could not find the ball in the middle – he is very sorry for the absence of the fractured Federico Fattori – and with the good work of Guillermo “Pol” Fernández, Medina and Varela, Boca was the dominator of the game.
After 5 minutes, a great play by Barco by Izquierda left Vázquez alone, who defined Lucas Cháves’ body.
Diego Martinez’s men had no footing against a rival who, despite being superior, left gaps in defense that were not taken advantage of by his rival. At minute 34 another good action from “Colo” enabled Merentiel, who only against Cháves finished hard and very high.
At the end of the first half, in the clearest of that stage, after a corner, Frank Fabra led a counterattack and went alone for 20 meters while being pushed from behind by the Chilean Guillermo Soto, who was unable to prevent After the Colombian defender crashed the ball into the right post of the visiting goal, the rebound was picked up by the youthful Barco, who kicked off the crossbar with his left foot and spiked over the goal line. It would have been an act of justice for the one who was better at this stage.
In the second half to the good game, the winner added efficiency at the net. Until after 11 minutes, in a good intervention by Barco that enabled Medina, with an “exquisite” pass he gave Vázquez the goal to score the just 1 to 0. Afterwards, Boca gradually adjusted the rhythm, but always with the Game control.
At minute 24, in a play out of context, after a cross by Santiago Hezze, the ball hit Marcelo Weigandt’s right arm, but referee Nicolás Ramírez determined that there was no intention.
Almirón began to save energy and brought in Ezequiel Fernández, a midfielder, with a striker like Merentiel, and then brought out the most applauded: Vázquez, Barco and Medina.
Tonight the “xeneize” settled a debt with his game, but now it will be seen if he can keep it when he plays next Sunday against Gimnasia from 4:30 p.m., in La Plata. While Huracán will receive Talleres, from Córdoba, on Friday from 9:30 p.m., both for the date 25 of the Professional League.
