Goals from Cavani and Merentiel, Marcos Rojo’s early exit and La Bombonera in celebration. It could be said that it was a classic Boca night on Wednesday, at least this time. Boca de Diego Martínez (12 points), who extended their good moment at home and beat a very weak Banfield (6) by 3-0.
The Xeneize had just taken a single point from their visit to Instituto, so the good feelings left by qualifying for the Sudamericana were quickly forgotten. So much so that Juan Román Riquelme appeared before the team to demand – to put it mildly – better results. That 0-0 in Córdoba extended the bad streak away from home: so far this year they have played 18 games away from home, with a record of 5 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. Quite the opposite. when the thing is in Brandsen 805: 11 wins and 4 draws in 2024. That is, undefeated.

Tomás Belmonte, in his third game with the blue and yellow, looked better. While Gary Averageanother of the reinforcements who was there from the beginning, signed directly a good match, although he has known the facilities for a long time.
It took Boca almost 20 minutes to activate against un Banfield full of kids who came out to spar. It was a start where nothing happened, so the locals were more worried. But everything changed in a few minutes, first with a Spectacular pass from Merentiel to Zeballos that did not materialize but served to shake off the drowsiness. A little while later, the 1-0 came with a cross from Advíncula and Very nice definition from Cavani within the area.
At times, the passivity of the Xeneize will have made the Taladro dream of something more. But if there was any of that, the central defender Gabriel Aranda woke his team up in a bad way at 56. The ex-Boca player’s back pass fell short and went straight to Merentiel, who went past the goalkeeper and dyed the night Uruguayan blue. In the discount, When the waiter had already brought the bill, the kid Jabes Saralegui put the third.
Finally, it remains to mention the Rojo’s exit at half-timewhich will put the spotlight on the captain’s physical condition just when the clashes with cruise (Thursday 15th and 22nd). Before that you will have Tents of location this Sunday and will go to Independent Rivadavia for the tenth date, let’s see if he breaks the drought as a visitor.
