Echavarría whistles and ends the first half. San Lorenzo found the 1-0 with a VAR penalty and since then they settled better on the field against a Boca team that gives too many advantages in the defensive zone.
A good xeneize effort from the feet of Giménez, who opens up well to get in for Zenón. But the Union went before him twice and when he took a left foot they stopped him. It could be 1 to 1.
A quick confrontation with San Lorenzo that ends with four men against two. The play was good, but Milton Giménez, in a good retreat, got the ball back just before Sosa made a shot. It was 2 to 0.
There is no certainty in Rojo, Figal and Miramón, which makes the exit to Boca too complicated. Not standing in that section of the field makes everything too difficult for Xeneize. San Lorenzo tries to take advantage of these advantages.
After another failure with Rojo, Vombergar is left one-on-one with Brey, who bails and takes the Ciclón on to quickly and flatly explain that Figal will clean up before he- into the goal. The contact between the two is claimed by the trip for an alleged penalty, which is rejected by Echavarría and the VAR,
Aaron Anselmino is playing a good game covering the areas and hiding the mistakes of Figal and Rojo. The boy is the only company in the last line of xeneize that does not appear hard.
Boca recognized that it had scored a San Lorenzo goal and tried to reorganize itself to get forward on the field and look for a tie. For now, there is no clarity. San Lorenzo takes advantage of the positions and tries to take advantage of the side effects.
Part of the Bombonera reacts with a strong encouragement to the team after the goal obtained, but then that chant goes about the request: “Movete, Xeneize movete, movete stop fucking…”.
With a strong shot in the middle, Andrés Vombergar opens the scoring in La Bombonera. San Lorenzo beat Boca 1 to 0.
Referee Echavarría reviews the action and deems Rojo’s handball to be penalized.
A shot on goal grazes Rojo’s right hand, which was too far from the body. Explaining the VAR.
Dangerous center over the Boca area. Saracchi clears with a successful heel. On the next play the ball hits him on the shoulder and the referee calls a non-existent handball.
In the first minutes, Boca tries to be at the center of the stage with vision and control of the ball against a San Lorenzo team that has less of the ball but tries to be more practical and more directly.
San Lorenzo moved and the classic began in Bombonera.

Diego Martínez will apply his undefeated record in the classics, as since his arrival in Boca he has a good record against this type of opponents. The coach has collected 37 games in charge of the Xeneize team and managed in four classes: two against River, one with Racing and the other against Ciclón. Independiente was the only one they haven’t faced yet because they didn’t meet at the same time in the League Cup field. The numbers are in Martínez’s favor, as his team has achieved three wins and one draw. The last game was against San Lorenzo on March 30 at home and they won 2-1 with goals from Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.
