With the return of a prolific scorer and another dominant night for Boca Juniors, the team swept Patrón and clinched a league title in convincing fashion.
The Argentina Super Cup 2022 rolled out a star showing for Boca as Benedetto delivered a standout performance, guiding the team to its 74th major trophy. Critics who downplay the match as a minor cup or dismiss the opponent as weak argued that Boca began with intensity but faced a stubborn challenge in the first half, eventually steering the game toward a decisive second half.
Coach Hugo Ibarra adjusted the lineup and strategy, using Benedetto as the focal point of attack while Villa and Langoni operated wide and a trio of midfielders controlled the tempo. Salvá emerged as a key figure thanks to solid support in front of him, with Langoni’s run standing out as a symbolic moment, mirroring the sharpness seen in top contemporaries across the league.
Despite early pressure, Boca did not panic. A well-constructed move earned a penalty after a prior offside call, and Benedetto slotted home after a patient buildup in the box. The breakthrough felt like a momentum shift that allowed Boca to settle into the match and begin to dictate terms as the clock ran down.
Patronato tried to respond after the break, but the response from Boca was relentless. A precise header from a corner extended the advantage, followed by a clinical finish after a clever pass from Fabra that completed Benedetto’s hat trick. The goal sequence left the audience on its feet, and the roar that followed capped a night of celebration. The outcome cemented Boca’s status with another title and set the stage for renewed expectations in the Professional League Tournament and the upcoming Copa Libertadores campaign.
The celebration carried on as the goals and the atmosphere underscored a memorable night for Boca and its supporters, who left the arena buzzing with anticipation for the rest of the season.
