He lost it with the substitutes, but Miguel Russo changed in time, made the headlines and turned the game around at Libertadores de América to beat an Independiente 2-1 who took refuge behind after taking the lead.
Thus, Boca headed in group A of the Championship Zone and arrived toned to Wednesday's rematch against Racing for the Copa Libertadores.
And
Lucas Pusineri's
Red
completed four black days: eliminated from the South American and in check in the Diego Maradona Cup.
Do you renew the
Pusi
?
Russo's
team B
had the initiative
in the pleasant afternoon of the Libertadores de América, already with the sun hidden behind
the devil's throat
and with the lights of the stadium beginning to wake up.
But that position of invading the
Red
field
with an overcrowding of footballers to tilt the field from the beginning lasted only a dozen minutes.

And that little time was not enough to have a dangerous situation.
Independiente took that time to settle on his ground.
He waited in the middle, with Silvio Romero and
Andrés Roa
as the only men to press up.
But suddenly, after the kid
Alan Velasco
broke his waist on the left to leave Julio Buffarini disoriented and throw a spicy center that found no goal, the local woke up.
Independiente went ahead several meters and realized that by encouraging himself he found spaces before a disorganized and imprecise Boca.
With
the
Velasco
jewel
as the one in charge of electrifying the attacks, the premises grew and little by little they were forgetting the uneasiness of the elimination of the cup.
Until a good connection ended with
Chino
Romero's
killer header
: from the middle they opened it for
Jonathan Menéndez
, whom Pusineri put in for
Federico Martínez
for this match, and he enabled Fabricio Bustos to climb, who threw the effective center for the in front of the red scorer, who did not fail.

The goal finished encouraging the homeowner and put Boca more under the ground, who could not find his game.
Roa, who entered instead of
Pablo Hernández
(he left the team after a gross error in Lanús' first goal last Thursday), entered into confidence with a couple of touches as fruitful as aesthetic, such as the first-rate cue he gave him. to Velasco.
when Gastón Ávila closed in a saving way to avoid the second goal.
However, all that security that he demonstrated in the game, Roa disappeared when he stood in front of the ball to kick the penalty correctly charged by
Mauro Vigliano
for a butt from Ávila on Menéndez.
The Colombian defined a highly advertised stick and Agustín Rossi contained him what was the second goal.
A play before had been the controversy: Mauro Zárate overflowed on the left and when he released the center the ball bounced off Bustos, which went to jam him, and shot towards the left arm of
Lucas González
.
All Boca requested a penalty, which Vigliano was right not to collect: there was a hand, but it is not punishable in this case because it comes from the rebound of a teammate and there was no intention.

Before the departure of Romero (discomfort in an adductor),
Alan So Señora
entered
and Velasco was a false '9'.
Thus, Independiente again gave up the limelight and dedicated himself to taking care of the result throughout the complement dangerously behind.
Even so, in an ideal counterattack, Roa threw her out before Rossi's quick exit.
It was like spoiling another penalty.
Russo moved the bank because
Red
let his Boca grow: inside the holders Villa, Cardona, Jara and Salvio.
Miguelito
sniffed blood and played it in the final minutes.
And he found a prize.
The debutant
Alan Varela
(19-year-old central midfielder)
had already warned
from the outside.
And the erratic Soldano had his thing too.
Vigliano did not see a fierce iron from Villa on Bustos that should have been punished with a red card.
And then the referee saw a foul that was not Velasco on Buffarini.
From that free kick, Cardona threw a great center and Soldano beat
Lucas Rodríguez
in the jump to take advantage of Sebastián Sosa's bad start and tie the night.
He had not converted since February.
But there was more.

Cardona was going to give the last brushstroke in Avellaneda when he
punctured
the ball from outside the area above Sosa and all of Independiente, who suffered his third defeat in a row and prolonged his pain.
