Boca Juniors drew 0-0 this Saturday against Estudiantes de La Plata on matchday 11 of the League Cup in Zone B, in Xeneize’s last game with its people before playing the cup final.
In a first stage that was very poor in risky plays, the true prominence in La Bombonera revolved around the next Saturday at the legendary Maracaná stadium against Fluminense.
At the beginning, Boca’s muletto barely got close to the goal of the experienced Andújar with the only associated play that included a heel from Bullaude and Taborda finished with a shot without power that deflected off a defender.
Later, a shot from the left by the Uruguayan Saracchi ended with a good shot by the boy Saralegui, in his second game in the First Division of Boca, which the visiting goalkeeper managed to clear with effort.
On the Student side, practically nothing. With Rollheiser absent from the game, Domínguez’s team had a free kick, a priori extremely risky, by the “Little Prince” Sosa that hit the barrier, and the lukewarm presence in the area of Méndez.
Back from the locker room, the process did not improve. Bullaude created a foul at the door of the area that the kid Taborda, on his return to the club after his time in Platense, executed low and well cornered, but the ball came out grazing a post.
He responded to the visit with a center from Zuqui headed by Núñez that was well controlled by Javi García, who would later have another good intervention against the admitted Carrillo.
The entry of “Colorado” Barco gave a little more verticality to Boca, since he took charge of all the stopped balls and generated a clear opportunity by sending a pass between the lines for the also entered Langoni, which he could not take advantage of.
After half an hour, a shot from the left was hit with a header into the net by Janson, another poor performance by the host, but the linesman ruled it out for offside.
Barco immediately brought down “Corcho” Rodríguez without the ball and took the visiting midfielder off the field, at the same time as he was well reprimanded. Estudiantes almost won it in the end after an endless series of rebounds, but Benedetti missed his shot.
“In Rio de Janeiro we are going to win and we are going to return,” sang the Boca fans, who showed very little with their substitutes, but with the headlines they excite all the Xeneize people with the final that will be played in a week in Brazil .
