This time Boca achieved a victory like so many others in the result: a tight 1-0. However, there was a difference: in the game he deserved more than on previous occasions. And the xeneizes celebrate. It is that the victory against Sarmiento in Junín leaves them one step away from the title. River also smiles because he continues to win and qualifies for the Libertadores 2023, but it will not be enough for the Olympic round.
Marcos Rojo missed a penalty and then he came out with a serious knee injury, which he himself intuits is a torn ligament. Despite losing one of his referents, Boca did not lose focus in Junín and celebrated with a goal from youthful Luca Langoni, of that boy who discovered in this Argentine league after the worrying injuries of Sebastian Villa and Exequiel Zeballos.
Boca justified its victory with arguments and scoring situations. The scream hit him Langoniafter a center Darius Benedetto. The xeneizes should have increased the difference, but they collided with goalkeeper Sebastián Meza. Later, at the end there was a reaction from Sarmiento, but the usual security of Agustín Rossi appeared.
River could not with Platense in the Monumental. He had played poorly in the first half. That’s why in the break Marcelo Gallardo he made three changes: outside Juanfer Quintero, Miguel Borja and Agustín Palavecino; inside, Lucas Beltrán, Matías Suárez and Santiago Simón.
River did not improve as much, but found two goals in a short time, one from Nicolás De la Cruz and another from Suárez. And that was enough for him to catch the victory, a 2-1 drawn by the subsequent discount of Mauro Zarate.
Gymnastics said goodbye to their championship illusions. It is that he lost 0-1 with the tough San Lorenzo in the Bosque de la Plata. All because of a great goal from Adam Bareiro, who invented a sensational Chilean. Those from Boedo still have chances to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.
In the other two games at the start of date 25, Independiente drew 2-2 with Barracas Central and Aldosivi sentenced their relegation with a 0-1 defeat against Banfield.
