Boca defines the Diego Armando Maradona Cup against the surprising Banfield in search of the title number 70 of its history as a revenge for the recent elimination in the semifinals of the Libertadores against Santos from Brazil.
Each one with their weapons, the Xeneize and the Drill jumped onto the playing field with the intention of imposing conditions. Boca, more impetuous in the search, with Cardona as a pitcher or axis and the bands as preferred routes. Banfield, neat, pressing just from the middle of the court to not offer spaces and attentive to elaborate as soon as he recovered the ball, preferably in three or four touches.
A shot from Cardona, another from Villa; two attempts of Payero, some overflow of Leather, were the first approaches in the opening minutes, measures that were studied, with maximum concentration of the two squads.
In the 60th minute of the match, the Colombian flew the goal to Arboleda, in a shocking shot that made the match 1-0. But not everything was joy for Cardona, as the player himself, minutes later, requested the change and was replaced by Salvio.
Before the final match, the Colombian and Boca Juniors idol, Óscar Córdoba, spoke with ESPN and praised the Colombian, who had not had a good return to the xeneize team, even came to compare him with Riquelme, one of the most important figures for that team.
“I do not know, I do not know. I have to be in there to know the subject. I have always said that Cardona, keeping his distance, He is a potential Riquelme. He has a temperament, I’m going to say it in a good way it’s ‘furbo’ (intelligent in Italian), I learned it when I was in Italy. He is a ‘cattivo’ player (bad in Italian), he is a different player. One of those who want to play, and if he has to put a kick, he does. I don’t blush when I say he has to kick.
He added that the player is “a ’10’ who knows when to kick, when to impose his temperament, it is important. I do not know what happens, I do not know the day to day, what happens so that the player does not consolidate as the owner of Boca. That in each game they say; – Va Cardona and 10 others -. And it has to be”.
