After the stumble for the Libertadores in Colombia, Xeneize returned to victory with a goal from the Merentiel Beast after a rude error by Marinelli. The locals generated a lot and made little.


The demand for the tribune is low because here, on the banks of the Riachuelo, there is an international obsession. "I want the Libertadores", sing the fans, but they leave happy to the rhythm of the percussion of the popular. No wonder. Boca won the third consecutive match on their home court and also in the Professional League. And it is true that all the lights focus on the Cup, but in the domestic sphere it adds triumphs. With a plus tonight against Tigre: he found a good performance. The result fell short. He had to liquidate it a long time before so as not to suffer any scare in the end, when they bet on a header that never came out, that of the scorer Mateo Retegui.

Jorge Almirón had been dissatisfied on his trip to Colombia. Not only because of the defeat; Also, for some yields. And since the follow-up merited a rotation, the coach made some tweaks that improved the team. The renovation of the half court was key; Also, the spearhead. And if the first half ended just by a goal above Tigre it was because he lacked greater fairness in the area.

It is true that he opened the match with an unforced error, a ball that incredibly escaped Gonzalo Marinelli. It was from a corner kick by Sebastián Villa that the goalkeeper wanted to retain, gave an inexplicable rebound and Miguel Merentiel did not forgive.

The match had not reached the quarter of an hour and Boca was in advantage. For the opportunism of the Uruguayan and for the dynamics of the team, which was compact to defend and quick to play. There was a good circuit at the start with Alan Varela and his two youth laderos, Cristian Medina and Equi Fernández. The three kids put together a young midfield, with blood and good passing. They anticipated, recovered, especially the internal flyers.

In this context, Villa's work on the left was important, but especially Luis Advíncula's as a winger on the right. The Peruvian was the protagonist of several plays. But Merentiel proved the most threatening player for Tigre. In addition to the goal, he had three clearances. A shot on the crossbar and two headers in the same play that made it clear that Marinelli is a good goalkeeper. He hit two sensational slaps and Héctor Garay finished away the danger on the sentencing line.

It was far superior Boca to Tigre, who came to the Bombonera aboard a 4-4-2 also with some changes product of the match he played on Wednesday with Tolima in Victoria. He always ran from behind. And the best thing he produced was when he pressed up with Retegui, especially. It had intensity, it is undeniable, but it did not disturb. Beyond some defensive inattention, Javier García did not suffer any surprises. Facundo Colidio appeared little, the external flyers did not weigh and he lost the divided ones.

In the second half, the trend was accentuated. Boca maintained dominance. He recovered in the middle and hurt. Diego Martinez moved the bench. Blas Armoa entered very active, but did not have the same tenor Sebastián Medina. Alexis Castro and Garay left the court. The coach of Tigre sought to get more revenue from the sides, where Marcelo Weigandt and Frank Fabra are projected much better than they score.

However, the plan did not come out. And Boca didn't score the second because Merentiel solved badly twice. First, in a play in which Fabra left him hand to hand with Marinelli, but defined defectively after dribbling the goalkeeper. Afterwards, he could not connect a footfinder of Luca Langoni.

Yes, the kid was already on the court after a long inactivity. Also, Martín Payero, who sacrificed himself in the middle fight. The match was intense, but with few clear plays. Under this situation, there were two situations to highlight and in both had to see Aaron Molinas. First, to kick a barely deflected free kick. Then, for an infringement on Fabra that should have been the second yellow. Nicolás Ramírez forgave him and Martínez, neither lazy nor lazy, replaced him with Lucas Menossi.

On the hour, Colidio, the one who tried the hardest despite his lack of clarity, put a center that Retegui failed to head. Tiger didn't kick Garcia's goal. Boca hit only once and product of a blooper. It was enough to keep the three points. To show a strong performance, he was there for the rest of the match. It was the eternal obligation. Win and like. This time, he fulfilled both items. A greater forcefulness was pending.
