That is the tip of the story, however there’s a a lot deeper background to understanding how this error happened, which infuriated Juan Román Riquelme and Diego Martínez, who can have no selection however to place collectively a group with the -little- he has at his disposal.
Chronology of Boca’s mistake within the South American checklist
1- Boca declares its 4 reinforcements
The chronology begins, to begin with, with the arrival of the 4 new faces at Brandsen 805 to strengthen a squad that had been brief within the first half of the 12 months and, basically, to switch the absences of Cristian Medina, Equi Fernández and Kevin Zenón (known as up for the Olympic Video games) in view of the Copa Sudamericana play-offs.
The primary to set foot in La Bombonera was an previous acquaintance of the membership, Medel.

And all the pieces was on observe to make it occur. In truth, everybody besides the striker with a previous at Banfield was going to be a starter in response to the formal observe that Martínez had finished on the sector. That’s, till the bomb exploded. What occurred? Why did Boca delay sending the paperwork with the modifications within the checklist?

Optimism within the operation and the need – and want – to have the 26-year-old defender led the leaders to determine to attend till the final minute to ship the checklist with the modifications within the checklist of excellent religion. The issue was that ultimately sure particulars of the switch weren’t agreed upon (not this fall) and the conversations have been delayed to the purpose that Boca started to have little room for motion. Given this situation, they ended up giving up on the intention of getting Vera for the play-off.
3- Boca sends the documentation to Conmebol out of time
This helps to place into context why the group from Ribera waited till the final second, nevertheless it doesn’t deal with the primary level of the difficulty: the reality is that there was clear negligence on the administrative stage. In accordance with Conmebol, the groups had till Friday, July 19 at 6 pm (Paraguay time) to “current the participant substitution kind – Spherical of 16 playoff. As much as 5 gamers.” So what? The e-mail with the 4 modifications arrived on the places of work of the Confederation at 6:53 pm.
For 53 minutes, Boca won’t be able to make use of its reinforcements in what will probably be crucial match it has within the second half of the 12 months.
