Boca’s euphoria for win the League Cup title and the subsequent classification in the Copa Libertadores continued against Arsenal, at the start of the Professional League.
The coach chose a fairly alternative team for this duel, but in any case he quickly took over the limelight. The arrivals at the visiting arch were appearing and at 17 minutes the local had advanced two goals in the result.
The first came through Sández, who went to head in a free kick and anticipated his marker to place the ball at the near post. The second was carried out by Zeballos, who faced the left with space, enabled Villa on the other side, and the Colombian finished off straight, crossed, to convert the second.
The festive atmosphere in the stands was overshadowed when Mauro Pittón discounted coming through the center, taking advantage of an oversight in Boca’s last line.
Zeballos’ performance, as it happened in the continental competition, was the best that Boca had to put together offensive plays. The other who accompanied him on the same page was Molinas. When they got together, the best of the Battaglia team appeared.
