Xeneize provided an improved picture of their play and although it wasn’t enough to win in the 90s, they celebrated again on penalties.
For Mouth, penalties became a constant in 2023 and also celebrations after a series. Because just like with Nacional, Racing and Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores, but also with Almagro in this Argentine Cup, it took all twelve steps to win a very tough match against Talleres and advance to the semi-finals.
Anyway, throughout the 90 minutes we saw an improved picture of Xeneize from the last games, they were largely dominant and the T struck in the first clean sheet they had, with a defensive oversight taken advantage of by Benavídez. Because Cavani had chances like never before and equality could have come sooner, but he didn’t know how to capitalize on a one-on-one and then Suárez stopped him with his hand, not sanctioned, from a shot at Merentiel.
What Echenique could not avoid was the clear foul on the Uruguayan in the second half, which he converted into a goal. When the draw was achieved, Boca could not maintain the intensity but still controlled the match without being able to break the resistance of Herrera, an absolute figure of the Cordoba team.
And in the penalty shootout, Chiquito Romero’s presence was not even necessary, although he intimidated Nahuel Bustos and Gastón Benavídez, who sent their shots into the stands and Xeneize advanced to the next phase of the match with four on four.
