Boca Juniors’ Disappointing Draw against Lanús Highlights Team’s Struggles and Frustrations

The most important week of the year for Boca did not start in a positive way. The team barely drew against Lanús, in the previous duels against Palmeiras for the Copa Libertadores, and the Superclásico for the local competition.

Coach Jorge Almirón, for this reason, decided to present a squad with his best men, so that they can coordinate their movements well with a view to those commitments. The only absentee was Cristian Medina, who is speculated to be there from the start on Thursday.

Boca’s improvement began to be seen in Santiago del Estero, in the win against Central Córdoba. The associated game, with effective triangulations in many sectors of the court, finally appeared and that victory was solidified with good foundations.

The intention continued against Lanús, despite the fact that the options to convert were fewer in the first half. The biggest deficit was in the supply to the Uruguayan Cavani. The forward does not find comfort on the field, because his teammates do not get the clearances right, and he remains disconnected in several passages.

Janson’s goal came after a corner kick from Barco, in the 34th minute. Boca, until that moment, had not been able to locate a player with the possibility of finishing in front of Aguerre’s goal.

Lanús settled in last place in zone B, and its football deficiencies are notorious. However, he managed to get dangerously close on several occasions, helped by the home team’s defensive imbalances.

The tie came through Leandro Díaz, after an assist from De La Vega. The public tried to make Boca react, who were surprised by the equality, and on top of that they lacked clarity to reach the rival area.

The changes that Almirón made did not give the expected result either, and frustration took over the local team, especially due to some wasted situations.

The distribution of points left the feeling of little, mainly due to the high-ranking players that Boca has, and who fail to offer a better version.
