Juan Fernando Quintero once again made Boca bitter and reminded him of his worst nightmare.
The left-hander had the luxury of converting Xeneize for Racing's partial draw against Diego Martínez's team and, in the process, silenced the Bombonera for a few minutes.
Racing lost 1-0 due to Lucas Blondel's great goal, but 34 minutes into the first half, Gabriel Rojas extended the ball to Maxi Salas, who went overboard and threw a sharp cross.
Juanfer Quintero entered the middle, who pushed the ball into the net despite Benítez's efforts to reject the ball.
After scoring the tie, Juanfer trotted towards the corner, near the boxes, and opened his hands as if to make the Boca fans mourn even more.

The thing is that between whistles and insults towards the Colombian, the Xeneizes fans will surely have missed that image that they will so want to forget: that of Juanfer's goal at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid when Boca lost the final of the Copa Libertadores with River.
Since that moment Juanfer did not score a goal against Boca.
And in this return to the Bombonera, now with the Racing shirt, the Colombian once again celebrated a little in front of those fans who curse again and again that this talented Colombian who now enjoys La Academia crossed their path.
