The rival reaches him a lot when they are tied and does not convert him… His goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín, marked because in a series of penalties he asked for the substitute goalkeeper to come in to save them, today he flies and deflects a penalty at a key moment of the match… He makes the most of the plays with stopped balls… He saves himself at the end of a half and scores a key goal at the start of the other stage… Now on Mouth everything turns out well for him. Thus the xeneizes took the first step in the Clausura playoffs with a 2-0 against the Workshops by Carlos Tevez. Thus, Boca is seen as a great candidate to be champion.
Boca started showing great fragility in the middle and in defense, but Talleres did not know how to take advantage of those half a dozen clear opportunities it had in the first 15 minutes. The Xeneizes opened it with a header from Lautaro Di Lollo that hit a post and hit the goal line (or inside?) before Miguel Merentiel pushed it. At that point, the victory was not deserved.

Talleres continued to propose and search, until he reached his highest point of offensive ineffectiveness when he could not even take advantage of a penalty in his favor, which Agustín Marchesín saved from Mateo Cáceres.
That penalty was a turning point because it happened at the end of the first half. And there was another key moment at the start of the second: at 20 seconds, Merentiel entered alone to make it 2-0 after a cross from Lautaro Blanco.
Talleres missed another couple of clear chances. Boca did not score because they wasted some opportunities and because Milton Giménez seemed to struggle with the goal. And in the last quarter of an hour Ander Herrera and Edison Cavani entered.
