The last minutes of injury time were played in a match in which the merit of keeping the three points was of Defense and Justice. But ahead was Boca and his hierarchy. Then, Sebastián Villa recovered a ball in the middle of the field, evaded two players and ran 30 meters with his characteristic speed until, at the right moment, he released the ball so that his teammate Luis Vázquez came face to face with Ezequiel Unsain, the goalkeeper of the local team. The Boca striker advances the ball and takes bite, which confused the Varela goalkeeper who could not avoid the goal that gave the visit victory in recovery time.
The image of Maxi Failla, the Clarín photographer who has immortalized the game since Villa recovered the ball in midfield and his run, up to the assist, ends with an Unsaín resigned at the celebration of Vázquez. It was less than two minutes before the referee Trucco decreed the end of the game.
A moment later, when the final whistle was heard, the goalkeeper knelt in resignation and leaned on his arms looking at the grass in the area. Then you see how a little boy starts running from the center of the field, in the same direction that Villa had taken before, but what he does is hug Varela’s number 1 (who is actually wearing number 22) to comfort him. The archer clings to the boy and together they kill each other’s pains.
