Boca victory 2-0 a Sarmiento de Junin in La Bombonera on the date 22 of the Professional League 2023thanks to the goals of Miguel Merentiel y Christian Medina, who for the second consecutive game was the figure of his team. This victory is key for Xeneize to raise its head in the local tournament after the hard win suffered in Mendoza last date against Godoy Cruz.
In an unexciting first half, Xeneize had possession, but failed to get big assists. In this context, the Greens tried to use their resources and played on the counterattack, with this scenario in the first minutes giving rise to the clearest goal chance of this stage; a hand in hand that Chiquito Romero covered Lucas Melano.
Already in the complement, more precisely at 26 minutes of the second half, Boca scored 1-0. Pol Fernández stole from a loss by Sarmiento in the rival field and generated a counter in which he teamed up with Oscar Romero, who ended up sending a cross from the left wing into the six-yard box for La Bestia to push the ball into the net.
13 minutes later, before the final whistle, the figure of the match had his deserved goal. Israel Damonte’s men misplayed a free kick, the Paraguayan striker from Xeneize rejected and Luis Vázquez commanded the unmarked counterattack, faced goalkeeper José Devecchi and touched the middle for the 21-year-old midfielder to make it 2-0.
In this way, the Ribera team took advantage of their two clearest opportunities in the second stage and won a difficult duel that allowed them to reach 31 points, situate themselves in the 11th step of the table and get into the fight for the classification to the international cups (he was two units from Godoy Cruz in the square for the South American).
