Xeneize won 3-1 over La Lepra at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa and was among the top four in Zone B.
Boca stomped in Rosario and won a ‘final’ against Newell’s in Zone B of the Professional League Cup. With goals from Cristian Medina, Luca Langoni and Kevin Zenón,
After a first quarter of an hour of play where very little happened, Diego Martínez’s team, which had just played at the height of Bolivia against Nacional Potosí for the Copa Sudamericana, accelerated and managed to break the zero after a cross shot by Luca Langoni was deflected by a barbaric Ramiro Macagno but Cristian Medina appeared to push it into the empty goal with a header.
When it seemed like everything was ending like this, an electrifying ending came. At 44 minutes, in a second play of a stopped ball, Julián Fernández took a barbaric volley at the far post and scored the discount to put the result in suspense. But a minute later, Frank Fabra led a counterattack from the left and changed it for the appearance of Kevin Zenón, who ended the game.
Boca was left with a 3-1 triumph in Rosario to get into the top four of Zone B of the Professional League Cup with one game less, because the match against Estudiantes still owes, suspended after the convulsive episode of Javier Altamirano . Newell’s, for its part, was left with 21 points and is at risk of leaving the classification zone.
