Boca Juniors struggled at home, barely equalizing with Ferroviario thanks to a decisive stop by their goalkeeper on a penalty kick. The team’s performance last season relied heavily on Agustín Rossi, whose penalties-saving heroics helped secure the title. With Rossi departed, Sergio Romero stepped into the spotlight in his second appearance for the club, mirroring Rossi’s clutch form by denying a central Córdoba strike from the spot and keeping a fragile lead intact for a Xeneize side that looked close to a home defeat.

The Ribera-based squad again showed a mixed display from a tactical perspective. Unlike the previous match against Atlético Tucumán, they failed to find a decisive moment that could seal three points. The clearest opportunity for the visitors came from Facundo Castelli, who took a penalty awarded by the home team goalkeeper but fired wide while Romero produced an excellent save to preserve the draw. The match at La Bombonera remained tense until the final whistle as the home side clung to the result.
