Boca Juniorsin good spirits after achieving his first victory under the guidance of the coach Diego Martinezreceive this Saturday Defense and Justice for the fourth round of Zone B of the League Cup with the mission of achieving another success and letting ourselves dream. The match, the first of the year for Boca in the legendary “Bombonera”, will be played starting at 7.15pm, refereed by Jorge Baliño and broadcast by the ESPN Premium signal.
The “Xeneize” began Martínez’s cycle with two draws, against Platense (0-0) in Vicente López and against Sarmiento de Junín (1-1) in San Lorenzo, where he played with his home team because he did not could dispose of La Bombonera because the reseeding of the grass on the pitch was not completed in time.
The first success came last Monday in Victoria against Tigre (2-0), accompanied by a convincing performance that allowed them to better position themselves in their group, in which the top four will qualify for the quarter-finals.
Their rival, Defensa y Justicia, stumbled upon Mendoza in their debut which ended in a defeat against Godoy Cruz (2-0) and then combined two victories against the same rivals Boca faced.
Halcón beat Platense (3-0) in Florencio Varela and then showed a lot of character by beating Sarmiento in Junín (3-2) in a match they lost 2-0.
