Boca paid too dearly for Chiquito Romero’s mistake and were left empty-handed against Estudiantes, who already feel they are in the playoffs

A gross mistake, a mistake. This was what had to happen Students AND Mouth get out of the 0-0 that seemed inevitable and which served both of us. And the error appeared: Sergio Romerothe goalkeeper whose contract renewal is in doubt was unable to contain a simple header Javier Correa and unleashed the madness of the thousands of fans who filled the UN despite the rain. With the victory Pincha enters the top four and a draw against Lanús will be enough to qualify for the quarter-finals. Boca, for its part, will enter the playoffs if they beat Godoy Cruz at the Bombonera, but it will depend on several results if they draw.

Absolutely nothing happened in the first half. TAnto Studenti like Boca wanted more not to lose than to win and time passed without emotions. The point distributed left them alive and dependent on each other in the final appointment on Tuesday: those led by Diego Martínez against Godoy Cruz in La Bombonera, those led by Eduardo Domínguez against host Lanús.

He Non-aggression pact The match did not stop in that lackluster initial phase and Boca defenders passed the ball to each other without any offensive intention. Watching the Estudiantes players, who were not even encouraged by the whistles and pushes of their fans from the stands.

Boca could not pronounce its evident improvement. Or maybe we should say he didn’t want to. Because the guest didn’t try to attack the goal defended by Matías Mansilla. The coach opted for his gala midfield, with Fernández in the center and Zenón and Medina starting a few meters ahead. But the Estudiantes midfielders were jealous of denying the through ball and that’s why neither Cavani nor Langoni were assisted.

Everything was monotonous and boring. The spiciest thing happened at the end, when Fernando Zuqui crossed Marco Rojo and Pincha’s fans insulted the defender who came out of La Plata’s youth sector. The limited first half ends with the smiling image of referee Fernando Echenique offering the cards to Cristian Lema so that he can referee.

The plugin started a little faster, with students with a little more ambition. Boca worries with two shots from Kevin Zenón and Guido Carrillo responds with a right-footed shot that ends up near Romero’s right post.

People kept pushing the team. Domínguez made two decisive changes: Correa for Sosa and Pablo Piatti for Zuqui. They would be the protagonists in goal: the attacker headed a corner from the left-footed midfielder at the top of the six yard area. In any case, nothing would have happened without the stellar performance of Sergio Romero: The ball slipped out of his hand and went into the goal.

Chiquito’s mistake is inappropriate because it left Boca out of the announcements. Furthermore, failure occurs in a week when There were rumors of a possible departure for Inter Miami. There was also talk of disagreements with the management regarding the renewal of the bond expiring in December. “I am lucky that my daughters have adapted very well to Argentina, it was not difficult at all for them to return to the country. If the family decides we will stay at Boca”he warned in advance.

Boca had no more time draw because the 32 minutes that lasted the second stage (the same as the first) ran out quickly. Estudiantes resisted and celebrated; Days of worry and work will come to Boca.

Anything can happen in the last match in Zone B: there are 6 teams that have the chance to win 3 tickets. Unaware of everyone, it seems Godoy Cruz, the only one classified…
