Boca’s 1×1 against Racing: Javi García made Rossi forget and Equi Fernández’s good collection, the only redeemable thing for Ibarra

The first edition of the International Super Cup, held in the United Arab Emirates, was won by Racing, who beat Boca 2-1, in a controversial final which was resolved in the last moments with a penalty for handball sanctioned by the Referee Fernando Rapallini.

Regardless of the result, Hugh Ibarra returns to Argentina with the feeling of not being able to change the scenario that has afflicted him in the last few matches, those of the closing of the 2022 season and this debut in 2023. It is that although Boca remained with the last Professional League, then He is eliminated from Patronato in the semifinals of the Copa Argentina and lost in the final of the Champions Trophy against the Academy.

Here is the 1×1 of the Boca players in the final against Racing.

Javier Garcia (7)

In the midst of the controversy over the farewell of Agustín Rossi (who didn’t even go on the bench), the goalkeeper was one of the figures of the team, saving several and without responsibility for his rival’s two goals.

Luis Advincula (4)

The Peruvian, who always makes the difference with his speed, this time had to suffer against a brand faster than him, the Colombian Johan Carbonero. He defended badly and hardly ever attacked.

Augustine Sandez (6)

In a position that is not his, the little boy has always offered himself and has shown the attitude that characterizes him. He controlled Romero well and almost closed his match acceptable with a close-range header.

Facundo Roncaglia (5)

In an improvised and urgent defense like Boca’s, the man from Entre Ríos started the match with a great goal but then paid dearly every time he had to leapfrog Carbonero and company.

Francis Fabra (5)

The Colombian went unnoticed throughout the game and this is bad news for Boca, who depend too much on his moves on the left wing. He could never find Villa, his partner.

Pol Fernandez (5)

At times too slow and repeated in passing, he lacked the acceleration in the final meters to supply the attackers. In the second half he improved with the entry of Fernández.

Alan Varela (6)

One of the few that is saved from postponement. The youngster was also favored by the arrival of Equi Fernández, who promises to become his ideal partner in midfield.

Juan Ramirez (5)

The former San Lorenzo never managed to exploit his imbalance and every time he tried they cut him off with fouls. A long shot that goes close, the best of the evening.

Norberto Briasco (4)

El Beto was one of Ibarra’s bets and almost didn’t participate in the match. A nice cross from him opens the match for Roncaglia’s goal but fades as the minutes go by. He left at halftime.

Darius Benedict (4)

El Pipa has shown desire but is still imprecise, a constant at the end of last season. In the second half he takes advantage of a through pass and closes well, but Arias sends for a corner.

Sebastian Villa (5)

Condemned to be the funnel where all Boca’s attacks end up, the Colombian has taken on his role, even if this time he failed in the last meters. He was a constant threat and nothing more.

Equi Fernandez (6)

The youth game that emerged in Boca, passing through Tigre, is perhaps the best news of this Middle Eastern trip for Ibarra. He entered the second half and, with little, changed the face of the team. He claims the property.

Luis Vasquez (4)

The decline in the former Board of Trustees continues to be worrying. He came in on average in the second half to fight with the Racing defense but lost the few balls that happened to him.

Luke Langoni (5)

Boca’s savior in the final stretch of the 2022 championship could not be in the Middle East this time. He is conspicuous for lack of pace and in the final phase of a preseason which shows him with the strongest physique.
