Installation of the new drain was completed a month ago, but the lawn has not fully recovered.
One of the big issues in the run-up to the meeting between Boca Y Colonfor the first date of the Professional League Cup, was the state of the La Bombonera playing field. It is that the installation of the new drainage finished just a month ago and it was unknown to know what the grass would be like when the ball starts rolling. The truth is that since the match began the answer came by itself and it was very evident.
In many sectors of the playing field of La Bombonera sandbanks were noted, that are not only seen from the stands and through the images of the TV broadcast, but also at some point affect the players and the process of the match. On more than one occasion, the footballers or the ball they kicked up sand

On February 13, 2001, exactly 21 years ago, Xeneize faced Unión as a local, by date 2 of the Closing Tournament. It was the first time that Boca played in La Bombonera, following some work that had been done to the playing field, which that night was shown with a kind of grid. The poor state of the pitch conspired once morest Carlos Bianchi’s team, which ended up falling 3-1.
