For the history

In the debuts category, it will not be a record because

on December 22, 1983 Boca had a full baptism in its starting lineup as

a result of the strike organized by the professionals of the La Ribera club at the time when the treasury was on the verge of bankruptcy .

How did the kids do?

They lost 5-1 to Instituto de Córdoba.

In that team they played: Walter Marcelo Medina;

César Claudio Lahorca (replaced by Héctor Horacio Barragán at 26m ST), Miguel César Iturrieta, Rubén Eduardo Manfredi and Alberto Rafael Benítez;

Luis Alberto Fernández, Fabián Gustavo Carrizo and Oscar Alfredo Galarza;

Javier Eduardo Franco;

Roberto Rubén Rosario Prado and Daniel Rubén Panattieri (Héctor Alejo Ramírez entered at 26m ST).

The blue and gold goal was the work of Prado.

For Gloria, meanwhile, Dertycia (two), Márquez, Rodolfo Rodríguez and Rosas scored.

That, however, was not the youngest formation, on average, that Boca presented in its history

.

The one that holds the record is the one that took to Independiente's field on August 17, 1975 in the middle of a professional soccer general strike at 19 years, 8 months and 11 days.

Boca won the classic 4-0 against Rojo, also full of youth,

and formed with Oscar López;

Carlos Tejeda, Héctor Kees, Luis Saraco, Raúl Sala;

Ricardo Franceschini, José Luis Álvarez, Daniel García;

Néstor Doroni, Hugo Lacava Schell and Gerardo Ríos.

The only debutant was central defender Kees and the scorers were Lacava Schell - in duplicate, but a penalty missed - Tejeda and Ríos. 

That formation was, on average, four days younger than the one that jumped onto the court on July 8, 1984

in the midst of another strike by professionals organized by the Boca squad and which was left in history because of

the white jerseys with painted numbers. with fibron

.

In that remembered 1-2 against Atlanta in La Bombonera, Xeneize formed with Walter Marcelo Medina;

Javier Franco, Marco Dos Santos, Rubén Manfredi, Jorge Latorre;

Néstor Tessone (replaced by Oscar Galarza at 24 minutes of the second half), Roberto Fornes, Fabián Peruchena;

Denny Ramirez, Gustavo Alejandro Torres (Roberto Prado entered at 36m ST) and Gabriel Vales.

In that line-up there were seven absolute premieres in First.

Bohemio's goals were the work of Oscar Graciani, later Boca's idol, and Héctor Manuel Torres.

For the local, Dos Santos scored a free kick for the 1-1 partial.
