The party that took place in the stands of the Estadio Único La Pedrera did not deserve that scandalous ending in which the players of Mouth and of Racing and the referee Facundo Tello, with 10 expelled, 7 on one side and 3 on the other, and which was eventually suspended due to the numerical inferiority of the Xeneize. Was a real piece of paper.
It will be blamed on the statements of one and the other, that the referee charged everything for them, that some players went with bad intentions to contest some balls, which hands which were or were not. So much intensity has passed them.
But the strong argument that Sebastián Villa and Johan Carbonero started at the end of regular time widened after Carlos Alcaraz’s goal. That relief from Iván Pillud that Luis Advíncula interpreted as a mockery and threw him a header; that exultation of the scorer, with the electronic bra on and the shirt in one hand, staring at the Boca fans, which unleashed the anger of the players and the brawl became general.
The reds multiplied until Boca was prevented from continuing under the rules. While the Racing players were celebrating, the others surrounded Tello, accumulating complaints and reproaches. They even calmed down. And once again, people have provided more sanity than the protagonists. “Give him a champion” shouted the academics, who suffered so much during the year and especially in the definition of the last tournament. “Champion of Dale,” sang Xeneizes fans, greeting their men with applause, while some offered their shirts. But the samples left a lot to be desired.
But the show must go on. With blood still boiling, the organizers began preparing the ground for the celebrations, as if nothing had happened. There was applause, medals, kisses, a trophy, fireworks and even words with some emotion from Iván Pillud. Everything was ready for a party that the protagonists had the task of ruining. They were the papelón champions.
It is true that the game started spicy. A few minutes earlier there was a gesture by the Boca players that was a declaration of principles. With the cups won this year, the Cup and the Professional League Tournament, he greeted his people, who applauded and encouraged them to rage because they understood the message. The rival, Racing, was there but had not been champion in the year, only for regulatory reasons. But the final had to be played and one of the two would be the new champion.
The first half is gaining emotion and intensity with the minutes. After a slight attempt by Racing to manage the ball and go deep (Maxi Romero finished but without strength), Boca immediately settled down and beat him in the center, because Moreno was too alone on the mark. Ibarra’s side fared better when Briasco scored 1-0after a nice center of Fabra from the left and a good definition of the former Huracán.
The question was how the Academy would react, which had done little at the time. The biggest drawback was that he couldn’t gain weight in Rossi’s area. That’s why Matías Rojas was encouraged to kick when he noticed that no rival was getting close to him. He hit him barbarously, hard, with the left, but he also had the complicity of the goalkeeper Xeneize, whose hands he clapped.
