The goalkeeper Sergio Romero was key to the xeneize feat. Fabra and Campuzano continue in the Cup.

Boca Juniors continues with the dream of winning the Copa Libertadores, because this Wednesday they qualified for the semifinal of the Conmebol tournament following drawing 0-0 with Racing Club and eliminating them in a penalty shootout.

Goalkeeper Sergio Romero was essential for Boca, saving two penalties and making Boca win the shootout 4-1.

The first half was favorable for Racing, as they knew that in the Cilindro and in front of their people they had the opportunity to win an even match. There the Colombian Juan Fernando Quintero was important, who had an assist play and a shot that might have been lucky to score.

The commitment in the complementary part was more discreet, since both teams had to reduce the risk before the evenness of the series. Thus, the game went 0-0 in the 90 minutes.

In the penalties, Racing Club was not accurate: only Juan Fernando Quintero scored from the white point; Piovi and Sigali suffered once morest ‘Chiquito’ Romero, who stopped both charges and did not celebrate the classification, since he was born in football at the Academy.

Boca Juniors’ rival in the semifinals will be Palmeiras from Brazil, which eliminated Pereira and is one of the favorites for the title.
