Boca eliminated Karera in the League Cup semifinals. Battaglia’s team didn’t play well and DT himself admitted he was overtaken by Avellaneda’s team, who said goodbye to the tournament without losing even a single game.
The reflection of this review is given by the journey of each Xeneize player, where their goalkeeper Agustín Rossi and youngster Alan Varela were the only ones to approve of the duel played at Lanús stadium and with the same bias in the field.
Boca’s 1×1
Agustin Rossi (7): He grabbed a ball, Tomás Chancalay’s free kick, closed, which ended against the post. Later, beyond the domain of Racing, he no longer had to intervene in situations that were compromised for his purpose. And he covered Enzo Copetti’s punishment in meaning.
Luis Advincula (5): The Peruvian could only unbalance by a diagonal inside the second half. He didn’t project too much, more worried about what Chancalay might do.
Carlos Zambrano (4): Weak early, he left the galaxy and unstoppable Copetti, who played his body and beat him in all individual duels while the man from Chaco was the center forward.

Red Frames (5): He was solid at various times, but he was tired of flipping the ball. When he came out of the cave, this time he suffered.
Frank Fabra (4): He barely goes on the attack, one of his main characteristics. He collided a lot with Copetti. It does not gravitate.
William Fernandez (4): It is not relevant for the first time. He played a little forward, but didn’t find the circuit and gave in to the pressure. In the second half, he touched the ball more, but had no influence.
Alan Varela (6): He didn’t do well in the first half, when Racing drowned him. Eventually, it began to be the axis of Boca’s exit. And he ended up scoring a decisive penalty in the series.

Juan Ramirez (4): He was not sharp inside, always missing the ball and almost no participation. This is the first change (Medina enters).
Oscar Romero (4): Too late, he tried to be a pitcher, but didn’t get any gaps. Nor is it related to the game.
Dario Benedetto (4): Two positive changes up front. He moved and disappeared between the centers. He did not kick the goal.
Sebastian Villa (4): Harmless in the first half, a bit more active in the second. It cannot be unbalanced.
Carlos Left (6): Sign in each advance.
Christian Medina (5): He amplified the middle, but there was no clarity.
