San Lorenzo and Racing had already tied. River and Independiente had already lost. It seemed that Mouth was the exception. That he was the only big winner on the first day of the League Cup. She was making it with a scream of Darius Benedetto, the long-awaited scorer who has just returned after a spell at Elche. However, in the 86th minute, Colón stabbed him with the dagger of equality.
If a day before Unión had beaten River with a goal from a former Boca, now Colón tied the xeneize with the resolution of a former millionaire. It was Lucas Beltrán, whose pass still belongs to the club with the diagonal red band, who appeared at the second post to push a delicious taco that Flea Luis Rodríguez had invented in the first, after a corner kick.
Although he did not play well, Boca deserved the advantage that he had achieved through a great jump and an accurate header from Benedetto. However, in the second half, he slowed down a bit. Sebastián Battaglia delayed the changes to refresh the midfield. Colón was right and rescued a more than valuable point in a Bombonera that presented a playing field in terrible condition, with abundant sand, a product of the drainage works that were carried out recently.

Before the 1-1 between Boca and Colón, it had been Racing’s turn to debut, which had generated expectations in the market with the incorporation of Edwin Cardona. The Colombian former Boca completed the 90 minutes, but it did not transcend according to his talent. The Academy could not get out of the 0-0 against Gimnasia. He even had a penalty in favor, but Rodrigo Rey saved Jorge Correa’s shot. In the end, Fernando Gago’s team ended up whistled at the Cylinder.
The other game on Sunday concluded with the victory of Platense, who with a goal from Gonzalo Bergessio beat Talleres 1-0. After all, after this first chapter of the League Cup marked by the grays, there are four pointers in each group. In zone 1, the leaders are Argentinos, Newell’s, Platense and Sarmiento.
