Boca Juniors faces Barracas Central in Santiago del Estero, in a match valid for the round of 16 of the tournament. The match is played starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Madre de Ciudades stadium, in the capital of Santiago, it is refereed by Leandro Rey Hilfer and televised by the TyC Sports cable signal.
The Xeneize, who counted on the return of Campuzano instead of Varela, started the first minutes better, seeking to become strong from the pressure, with Medina standing still.
Barracas managed to match the process, he stole the ball from Boca at times and did not suffer so much. The areas, for now, were unknown territory.
At 16 minutes, Merentiel came face to face with Desábato, managed to dribble him, but he opened up and the play ended in a corner kick.
El Guapo was feeling more and more comfortable in the game, he found Boca’s weak points and began to arrive. At 24, he had the clearest since Rondina’s lab. From a corner kick, Álvarez was left alone and failed to put it in with his head.
Peinipil had another one for Barracas, following a gift from Figal that the full-back recovered and reached close to Romero, but his shot went across the entire arc. Minutes later, Iván Tapia demanded a good response from “Chiquito” following a direct free kick.
Boca mightn’t find a way around it, but towards the end of the first half, a good counter managed by Benedetto culminated in a great goal from Cristian Medina, who “cut” the ball and put it in the angle for the 1-0.
