ST ’43. Brey responds to Ferreira
San Lorenzo had little depth throughout the game. He barely bothered Brey with a mid-distance shot from Ferreira
ST ’39. Merentiel pushes her!!: 2-1
Boca recovers the best of its libretto, in one of its best individuals: Zenón. The ex-Unión went deeper into the lane of No. 10, relied on the excellent pivoting of Benedetto and touched on the exit of Altamirano; Before the closing of a Ciclón defender arrived, Merentiel secured a few centimeters from the goal. Mouth goes up.
ST ’33. Rough, discontinuous
There is less play than in the first half. Boca, now with the entry of Benedetto for Langoni, has less fluidity in its game. San Lorenzo does not let up in the fight, but it is difficult for him to mount any counterattack.
ST ’29. Sale Bareiro, injured
With all the symptoms of having suffered a tear, Bareiro remains seated, immobilized. The Paraguayan may have felt the accumulated wear and tear after having participated with his team on the FIFA date. Enter Tarragona; while the Colombian Herazo replaces Leguizamón, with intense deployment.
ST ’25. The revolutions rise
Tempers are getting heated on the San Lorenzo bank. Insua crosses an arm to stop Equi Fernández and allow Giay to make the lateral. The Boca midfielder faces the San Lorenzo coach. There is a commotion that ends with an Insua collaborator expelled.
ST ’19. Roces with Bareiro
Progressively, the classic becomes “bitten”. Bareiro, who usually has disputes with rivals on duty, slaps and reproaches Advíncula.
ST ’16. Red enters hard, reprimanded
There is almost no match without a strong tackle by Rojo on a rival. He arrives late to an advance on Leguizamón and crosses him hard below. Admonished.
ST ’10. Very “talkative”
The classic begins to leave individual quarrels behind. Advíncula verbally crosses paths with several rivals. First with Ferreira, then with Bareiro and finally with Braida.
ST ‘8. A White Rise
Important in other games due to his projections, until now Blanco has not been much noticed in attack. On one of the climbs he crosses a cross that Zenón connects from an awkward position. He saves Altamirano.
ST ‘6. Lukewarm attempts by San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo needs the win more than Boca, but it costs them an enormous amount to organize progress. It almost depends on a local error, as happened with the Lema penalty.
ST ‘5. Insua reinforces containment
Boca handles the ball in the middle. Insua did not come up with the proposal to be offensive from the names. It is decided to add a ball retriever, Perruzzi, for “Perrito” Barrios.
ST ‘3. Boca had the second
Boca recovers in the middle zone, puts pressure on Barrios. Langoni overflows on the right, almost misses a penalty, and throws the back pass for Zenón’s entry. Altamirano saves San Lorenzo again.
ST ‘0. Surprise: Cavani goes up
Boca returns from the break with something new. Cavani left, replaced by Miguel Merentiel. At first it was as a precaution, due to a slight contracture.
PT ’48. End of the first half: Boca was superior
With the claim of Diego Martínez, who considered the three minutes added by referee Arasa insufficient, the first half, which showed Boca at a better level than San Lorenzo, ends. He had to recover from two blows: Lema’s mistake at the beginning that facilitated the penalty that Bareiro converted and Blondel’s injury. Boca had 65 percent possession, more shots (7 against 4), more corners (7 and 3) and made more passes (238 against 133). He made a figure of Altamirano, who saved the Ciclón three times.
PT ’42. Now, Boca ties with Cavani
Remarkable play inside by Boca to tie the classic. He strung together a series of passes down the middle lane with precision and clarity. From Equi Fernández, with a great first half, to Zenón, who extends for Medina, whose subtle touch puts Cavani in front of Altamirano, who this time cannot withstand the Uruguayan’s accurate cross definition. Seventh goal for the Uruguayan in the last five games. Boca’s draw was more than deserved. La Bombonera, who was impatient because equality was delayed, explodes.
PT ’38. Lema does not arrive
Boca plays a short corner, Zenón opens up and crosses a center that Lema fails to connect at the far post. Boca is still close to a tie.
PT ’32. Altamirano is already a figure
San Lorenzo retreats, but that does not mean that it defends well. He is supporting Altamirano, who is once again decisive against Medina, after an assist from Fernández. Cavani claimed the pass in front of the goal.
PT ’29. Altamirano grows bigger
Boca regains control. He arrives with a dominated ball. Equi Fernández interprets Cavani’s unchecking in the area, which he cannot handle with Altamirano’s effort.
PT ’27.Altamirano, in action
Boca tries to react through passes and associations. Cavani goes back and makes the pass for the break from behind by Saralegui, who arrives a second after Altamirano’s timely exit.
PT ’23. Many interruptions
The classic becomes choppy. Blondel’s injury slowed the pace. Now it is Bareiro who falls and the match is interrupted again.
PT ’19. Blondel, injured, leaves in tears
Another bad news for Boca. Blondel, in an action in the central zone, bends his right knee in a turn. He falls and doesn’t get up. He is attended to and immediately the change is ordered for Saralegui. Blondel leaves in tears, probably fearing a major injury. He will have to be attentive to the diagnosis.
PT ’14. Ferreira wastes a counterattack
With the initial advantage, the development is left to San Lorenzo for what it likes most: the counterattack. Ferreira leads one with numerical superiority, but resolves poorly before entering the area. Wasted opportunity for the Cyclone.
PT ’12. Boca asks for a penalty
The game heats up. On the Boca bench they jump excitedly asking for a penalty for Campi grabbing Lema inside the area. The center had fallen in another sector. Arasa did not see anything and the VAR did not intervene.
PT ’10. Boca returns to the fray
The classic had an unexpected turn after the good start of Boca, who now appears nervous. Zenón and Medina are in charge of construction on three quarters of the field.
PT ‘7. Horror of Lema, penal for San Lorenzo
The Cyclone takes advantage of its first deep attack. It all started with a mistake by Lema, who lost the ball under pressure from Bareiro; The play continued with Leguizamón assisting the Paraguayan striker, who was grabbed from behind by Lema inside the area. Penal. The San Lorenzo scorer executed it with pure class: he hit the shot through the center of the goal, while the youthful Brey threw himself to the side. The classic promises from the start.
PT ‘5. Dominate Boca
He has control of the ball and the field. He already put together a couple of suggestive attacks.
PT ‘1. Boca already had it
Foul by Irala on Langoni on the right side. Zenón’s free kick is combed by Cavani at the near post and Rojo’s attack in front of the goal is blocked by Altamirano.
16.45. Insuade, forced to be offensive
Cataloged as a coach who does not take excessive risks, the need for a victory to continue with the possibility of qualifying led Rubén Darío Insua to design a lineup with a more offensive profile than usual. He will maintain the line of four that he established in the last matches, with the delay of Braida, normally a flanker, as the left back. In the middle, only one holding midfielder, the youthful Irala, surrounded by the winger on the right, Giay, two midfielders (Ferreira and Barrios) and two forwards (Leguizamón and Bareiro).
16.38. Rojo debuts in the League Cup
After playing the first official minutes of the year in the 3-0 against Central Norte for the Argentine Cup, Marcos Rojo, recovered from the muscle injury he had suffered in the run-up to this year’s first friendly, will make his debut in the League Cup. There will be a new central couple in Diego Martínez’s team: Lema and Rojo.
16.30. Each one with their goalscorer
Among the attractions, one points to the scorers of each team in 2024. Edinson Cavani, surely in his best moment since he arrived at Boca, he has scored six goals this year. Adam Bareiro It concentrates a high percentage of San Lorenzo’s effectiveness: it accumulates five celebrations in 2024.
16.15. In La Bombonera, after more than two and a half years
Argentine soccer calendars do not usually have much coherence or correlation. La Bombonera once again hosts the Boca-San Lorenzo classic after more than two and a half years. The last precedent dates back to July 27, 2021, with Ciclón’s 2-0 victory against a Xeneize formation with many youth players due to the isolation due to the pandemic of the main team, which had returned from Brazil. The next three matches were played in La Bombonera. That match was without an audience due to Covid restrictions. The last Boca-San Lorenzo at the Alberto J. Armando with an audience was in 2019.
