Despite Almirón’s debut, Xeneize was the same team without game and soul; the Cyclone took advantage and is still battling River.
It was more than clear, even before the departure of Hugo Ibarra, that Boca’s problem was not through the one sitting on the substitute bench, but through the interpreters of the orders. And if a fan expected Jorge Almirón’s cycle, which started 48 hours ago, to urgently change this, they must admit the mistake.
Xeneize had to visit the Nuevo Gasómetro for an always spicy match, but this time with San Lorenzo fully involved in the battle with River for the top of the championship. And the difference between a team with real ambitions and one that doesn’t know where it is going was noticeable from the first minute. And less than 10 went by before Leguizamón escaped, Valdez felt a tug at the least opportune moment and thanks to a deflection in Pol Fernández, the Cyclone opened the scoring.
With an advantage on the scoreboard, the locals bet on desperation and, apart from situations that Langoni and Benedetto didn’t take advantage of, they always managed to play the game, hand-in-hand with an unstoppable Perrito Barrios driving the defense insane floated. And Xeneize almost stayed at 10 at the end of the first half due to a kick attempt by Sández that Giay missed by centimeters and Tello decided, with the support of the VAR, to annul the red card shown and only to rebuke him.
The mentality change from the second half visit didn’t materialize and things got worse with the red card to Figal for a kick at the wrong time. From then until the end was near, the Cyclone was unable to take advantage of numerous counter-attacks, including one from Vombergar which he defined as required when they were five to two.
As for the closure, only Villa’s push and Boca’s self-esteem jeopardize the well-deserved Azulgrana victory, which for now awaits one of River for a setback and forces Jorge Almirón to take urgent action if he wants this ship dressed to go the drift in blue and yellow can be straightened with a fixed gradient.
