I was about to start the second half. The same 11 players of Mouth that they had played in the first were ready in the field to start that final stage. However, on the side of the field, ready to enter, was Milton Giménez … Was Boca to play with 12? No … They told him that he had to go out to Miguel Merentiel, who went straight to the very annoying locker room. So angry was the striker who broke a glass of a tube when entering the locker room …
Did they forget to tell Merentiel at the break that was going to be replaced? It seems yes … or did something else happen? The truth is that after the game, the coach, Migue Ángel Russo, tried to explain that “it was a paper problem with the fourth referee …”. Very rare Unusual.
To that immense role was added that Merentiel is just one of the best players in a mouth in which almost none pays. Also unintelligible the choice of his departure beyond the desprolijidad of the moment. This is the mouth: confused. Aimless. Lost. And that at that moment the Xeneizes tied without goals with a hurricane. Then, everything was even worse. Because the balloon found a goal from outside the area through Matko Miljevic and ended up winning 1-0 with total justice.
Boca 2025 is pathetic. He stayed out of the Liberators in the previous phase, before the modest Alianza Lima and in La Bombonera. Nor did the South American play. He also said goodbye to his stadium in the past opening, defeated by Independiente. He did not win at the Club World Cup and could not cross the groups, which closed drawing with Auckland City, a semiprofesional team. On Wednesday, it was also eliminated from the Argentine Cup by Atlético Tucumán. And now another defeat to crown the worst streak of his history of consecutive matches without winning: 11. Not even with Leandro Paredes finds the way …
Boca’s defeat came on the third day of the Clausura, a day in which none of the five greats managed to convert a goal. Racing had lost 0-1 on Saturday with students. River and San Lorenzo matched 0-0 the classic played in the Monumental, on a night with a lot of intense game but few danger situations. While Independiente fell 0-1 against Gymnastics in La Plata.

Of course, this third day left another curiosity that is not pleasant: 8 of the 12 played games ended 0-0. Three meetings remain to be played, but the numbers are already striking. Marcelo Gallardo, in this sense, reflected: “I saw a lot of football this weekend. I observed a certain tendency not to lose, to defend results … Hopefully Argentine football adopts another position with respect to what we want, especially for the show.”
