For a long time, it was River who tipped the balance and began to win possession of the ball from Boca, and about half an hour he had the clearest situation, in an excellent individual action by star Julián Álvarez, who made his way from the left to the center, and beat two defenders, but goalkeeper Agustín Rossi won the duel hand to hand.
For the second half, Sebastián Battaglia, the coach of Boca, arranged the income of Figal for the Peruvian Luis Advíncula, with a discreet task and admonished, and Luis Vázquez for Benedetto, who barely touched the ball, and the young Vázquez generated the first situation for the visit, in a run to the right that forced the goalkeeper's intervention Armani.
- Sin 'millionaire' -
With a little more air, Boca found the goal in an unforced error of the 'millionaire' defense, because González Pirez tried to leave the ball to Armani, and Colombian Villa took the opportunity to capture the ball, elude the goalkeeper and mute thousands of fans at Monumental.
River turned in the search for the tie, but could not against the figure of Rossi, who showed off to win another heads-up from Álvarez, deflected with just enough a frontal free kick from Quintero looking for his left corner, and very close to the end, he threw himself back to deflect with his fingertips a headbutt from Palavecino that was getting into him above.
The local also had a right hand from Enzo Fernández who hit the top of the crossbar, while Boca wasted the chance to increase in a great play by Ramirez, who saved Armani and Paraguayan Oscar Romero missed the shot with an empty goal.
Thus, Boca won a very valuable victory, which was already coming from passing a tough exam against Estudiantes (1-0), and he gave a great pleasure in the Monumental against his eternal rival.
