Boca Deserved Something More

Boca had opportunities to win the match, but were not able to take advantage of them and tied 0-0 against Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal. With a match pending, Boca share second place in the Apertura standings behind leaders San Lorenzo. Sunday's opponents: Tigre.
         The match was hardfought and did not have many goal chances, but it did have a dramatic ending in which both teams could have scored the winning goal. Boca were slightly superior but were not able to capitalize on their chances.
         Ibarra had to leave the pitch due to injury in the first half and was replaced by Calvo. Noir had two chances he unfortunately could not take advantage of: bad luck and home goalkeeper Torrico were to blame.
          In the 30th minute, a Scotti's header after a cross by Peñalba went over the bar. Later, Caranta, who had a great performance, saved a shot by Díaz: that was a wasted opportunity for Argentinos.
        In the 9th minute of the second half, Riquelme gave an excellent pass to Vargas but Torrico quickly came out and sent the ball away. Boca kept working for that goal that never arrived. Later, once again Noir was not able to connect on a pass by Dátolo.
         The match was decided in the penalty boxes. Viatri missed another chance one-on-one against Torrico, whereas Caranta showed poise when tested by Peñalba. At that point, near the end of the match, both teams had their chances.
         Boca kept pressuring but the win slipped through their fingers. Even though Boca deserved something more, the draw accurately reflected the flow of the game.
