Boca Juniors turned the ball over and beat it. St. Lawrence by 3-2 On the eleventh day of League Championship. The authors of the goals in the classics were Milton Jimenez, Marcelo Saracchi and Miguel MerentilAndres Vombergar and Ivan Leguizamon did it for the visitor.
Diego Martinez’s side showed a display of character in the second half and came away with a fine win over a team led by Pepe Romagnoli.
In the first half, Cyclone went all out and played some very good football. This advantage came thanks to a childish penalty kick by Marcos Rojo, which Vombergar converted into a goal in the 20th minute of the match.
A few minutes later, the striker had another very clear opportunity, but it was closed by divine providence. Aaron Anselmino Prevented the bow from falling again. The centre-back made several defensive interventions which meant his team did not concede any more goals.
To the good play the visitors were playing, controversy was added when Leandro Bray appeared to touch the goal scorer inside the area, but neither Pablo Echavarria nor the VAR noticed the foul and they led 1-0 at half-time.
For its part, the local team showed a lack of sportsmanship in the first 45 minutes, and a lack of accuracy in handling the ball.
To start compliment, Martinez helped the team and sent Luis Advincula, Merentil and Cristian Medina onto the pitch. Instead of Rojo, Exequiel Zeballos and Ignacio Miramon.
They acknowledge them. They changed the face of the team. It was completely different in the second part.
Xenize needed a push to turn the game around. In the 5th minute of the second half, Jimenez equalized with a good technical move (an assist from Anselmino) and in the 9th minute Saracchi converted the ball with the help of a deflection when he shot the ball in the middle.
Romagnoli’s team was hit and showed no reaction in the match, except for a few attacks launched by Ezequiel Cerutti in attack that were ultimately unsuccessful.
When the clock showed 45 seconds, Anselmino sent a brilliant pass between the lines to leave Merentil alone, who scored in a brilliant way to make it 3-1.
Everything seemed set, but Saracchi committed a foul in the penalty area (he was sent off) and Leguizamón made it 2-3 in stoppage time.
The outcome of this match will have an impact on the mood of both teams before the international matches they will play next week in Brazil.
In the next league fixture, Boca will visit Estudiantes and San Lorenzo will host Talares. Before that, they will face Cruzeiro (Copa Sudamericana) and Atlético Mineiro (Copa Libertadores) respectively.
