Boca reached the semifinals of the Copa Argentina in which they will face Patronato, from Paraná (which this Wednesday truncated the possibility of a new superclásico in this competition by eliminating River), by beating Quilmes in a match that began on Wednesday and ended on Thursday, by 3 to 2, at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza.
Boca was surprised by the offensive proposal of Quilmes, who came out determined to seize half of the field, and much more so when barely four minutes had passed and the “brewers” took the lead with a great goal by Julián Bonetto.
The midfielder shot with his left foot from outside the large area that “viboreated” goalkeeper Javier García and the ball embedded itself against his upper left corner.
But the joy of the Quilmeños lasted very little, because just seven minutes later Darío Benedetto took advantage of a bounced ball on the right edge of the small area and his angelic moment in which all the balls fell to him, to tie the game with a cross forehand.
MOUTH GOAL! BENEDETTO EMPATHED IT

The parity in the development, although premature to analyze the merits of both, seemed to justify the result, but singularly, after the tie in Boca, Quilmes’ best moments came in the match.
Those led by Walter Coyette tried to pierce the “xeneize” defense from the middle to the outside, and thus led to a couple of arrivals that made Javier García, Agustín Rossi’s replacement, roll over as usually happens in Copa Argentina.
But when those of the First National were better Agustín Sández was projected, Rafael Barrios slipped and the left back, who later suffered a contracture in the back of his right thigh and had to come out at halftime replaced by another youth like Nahuel Genéz, placed a low cross in the middle of the small area that the also kid (19 years old) Gonzalo Morales sent without a mark to the net for his first goal in first.

The boy who emerged from the Atalaya club in Córdoba, like the former River, Julián Álvarez, in his second match in the highest category (he had entered a few minutes against Godoy Cruz on Friday) already showed his firepower that so much He stood out in the reserve when it was directed by Hugo Ibarra.
Despite the disadvantage, however, Quilmes did not disband and continued to exercise his game plan until the end of the first half and then at the start of the second.
But after 10 minutes orA high-profile youth trooper like Luca Langoni (19 years old) came on for an exhausted Benedetto and just 180 seconds later he scored the third “xeneize” goal and the fifth of his personal harvest in Boca’s first in 12 games, in which in his most were not starters.

In the same minute that Langoni jumped onto the field, someone who could well be his father did so in Quilmes because he is more than twice his age (40 years old), Mariano Pavone, who before stepping on the grass of Malvinas Argentinas before he was 10 He achieved the discount to mark the 208th goal of his career and become one of the “top ten” Argentines with the most goals converted still in activity.
But immediately and when Quilmes went on a play launched into the attack with possession of the ball in pursuit of parity, referee Ariel Penel stopped the actions due to some serious incidents that were being recorded in the stands.
A group of Quilmeño fans began to launch all kinds of projectiles against others from Boca who were in the adjoining stand, in an area where there were no security forces to divide both sides.
The incidents lasted for more than a quarter of an hour (exactly 17 minutes) and in that period the police intervention was important to gradually calm down the most excited, while the Quilmes security chief, Pablo Otero, for going to convince the fans of his club to give up this hostile attitude, he ended up receiving a projectile that caused a bloody cut on his scalp.

Later, when the match resumed, the actions were even again, because the paradox caused by the “beer” fans paradoxically ended up hurting their team more, which no longer had the same momentum as before the interruption.
And so Boca headed for the semifinal that possibly in mid-October (possibly on the 19th) will face Patronato, from Paraná, who last night struck the blow by beating River Plate on penalties to prevent this Argentine Cup from having another edition of the super classic .
Before the match there was a minute of silence for this sad event and the team captain, Marcos Rojo, who did not travel to Mendoza due to injury, gave his condolences to the family of the deceased on behalf of the squad through his social networks.
The other semifinal, which will probably take place on October 13, will be starred by Banfield and Talleres, from Córdoba, who defeated local Godoy Cruz and Independiente, respectively, in the quarterfinals, in both cases also on penalties.
