Miguel Ángel Russo's Boca was playing without a 9. The Football Council knew they needed to reinforce the team with a center forward and that's why they thought of Cavani, Roger Martínez and Miguel Borja.
None of the operations could be done.
Luis Vázquez
, that youth who arrived a couple of years ago from the Patronato de Paraná, was
looming from behind
.
He got tired of scoring goals in the Battaglia Reserve and that's why Sebastián did not hesitate to start him in his first duel as Boca coach.
And much more: he banked it for a long time on the court even when the scorer had not had a great performance.
But the scorers are like this: he played one and went out to celebrate, right in front of his former team.
“I didn't shout it because I have a lot of appreciation for the club, it's where I grew up.
But it is a dream day.
Since I can remember, I have been waiting for this moment ”, confessed the 21-year-old striker who has accumulated 6 games in the First Division.
Thumbs up for kid Vázquez.

In addition, Vázquez's goal was special because it came after the assistance of his friend Exequiel Zeballos.
“With Chango we have played a lot in Reserva and we know each other.
He knows that I like centers, "he said.
And he closed: "The team always gives me confidence. The boys told me to keep working hard that the moment was going to come. And luckily it came."
His story

Boca bought Vázquez from Patronato in exchange for $ 400,000.
He did so in 2019 under the command of Nicolás Burdisso as manager and as a result of the recommendation of Oscar Regenhardt, who went from the Board of Trustees to coordinate the Boca Juniors in that period, during the last period of Daniel Angelici's presidency.
Passing through the AFA Youth with sub-20 citations, he did not stop converting every time he played in the Reserve - in this 2021 he scored 12-.
That caused Boca fans to wonder if it was not the time to show their full potential in the First.
Russo gave him a few minutes - he made his debut against Huracán and played for the Argentine Cup - but he had not been enough to show his fame as an inveterate scorer.
This Saturday night came his baptism with the network.
There was no scream.
Never mind.
Others will surely arrive.
