It seems that Mouth fails to establish a coherent relationship with merits. On Saturday they qualified for the League Cup final by eliminating Racing on penalties, but without shooting on goal during the 90 minutes, a deficit that sparked immense controversy. Now, on Tuesday night, in front of Corinthians and for the Libertadores Cupbuilt a solid, interesting, ambitious collective production, but ended up in a meager draw (1-1).
Boca added reasons to draw a victory in the Bombonera. However, he failed a couple of situations to define too sharp. With the match already tied at one, in the second half, Eduardo Salvio had two moments desired by any striker. First, at the start of those final 45 minutes, he had a one-on-one that was covered by goalkeeper Cassio. Near the end, Oscar Romero sent him an exact center, but Toto headed it alone and wide.
It was not a simple night for Boca. And it is that he started losing after a corner that his defense failed to clear and that Du Queiroz took advantage of to transform into a goal by taking a soft left-footed shot against a post.
Beyond that negative impact, Boca asserted itself in the game with the balance of Alan Varela, with the criteria of Pol Fernández and with the diagonals of Toto Salvio. Until Darío Benedetto drew a perfect oriented control to lower a ball from Carlos Zambrano and established the tie.

Boca controlled everything in the second half, planted itself in the rival field and accumulated merits, but did not find the winning goal. Then it stayed in a dangerous 1-1. Now, in Group E, Corinthians leads with 8, Boca follows with 7. Tomorrow Deportivo Cali (third with 5) and Always Ready (last with 4) will play. There it will be known if Boca arrives second or third next week, on the last day, in which it will be local against Deportivo Cali.
