Agustín Rossi (7):
He returned to La Bombonera after that gross mistake against Palmeiras. Although they were not super saves, he responded very well the two times Unión demanded him. One, a shot from Fragapane, and the other, a left-footed shot from Zabala. They were decisive saves for both Boca and him. Perhaps now he will gain confidence and take off.
Julio Buffarini (5):
He played poorly with the ball, had trouble attacking, and did not convey security in marking. Far from his best level at San Lorenzo. However, he masked his performance with a recovery in his style, sweeping from below, which served to start the second goal play.
Boca won in Wanchope's dream night and secured first place
Santiago Vergini (4):
Insecure. While Unión did not deepen much, Boca's first center-back did not show himself trustworthy. Also, very weak when playing from the back.
Lisandro Magallán (6):
The usual correction. No problems in marking and good when cutting both high and low. The best in defense.
Frank Fabra (4):
Marking is not his great virtue, but some conceptual errors in retreat and some clearances to inconvenient places are not understood. This time, he also did not contribute in his strength, which is offensive projections.
Emanuel Reynoso (5):
Too inconsistent and very uninvolved in the first half. The team needed him more. He improved in the second half, even carrying the ball and intelligently assisting Pavón a couple of times, but without reaching the level of influence expected from him.
Wilmar Barrios (7):
The usual clock that Boca enjoys in the midfield to balance the team with order, effort, anticipation, and recovery.
Pablo Pérez (6):
He could not transcend in the game as Boca needed him, but when he seemed exhausted, he made a great pass of sixty meters, from left to right, which opened Boca's first goal. That saved his performance.
What Boca now needs to be crowned champion
Carlos Tevez (4):
Boca broke the game when he was already on the bench. That detail reflects that Carlos did not have a good game again. Far from his ideal level, failing to have a specific weight in the game, although this time he did not play as a "9". He only drew a couple of interesting passes for Pavón. And that's it. Too little for a referent who is expected to deliver much more.
Cristian Pavón (8):
The rescuer, as always. Once again, the key to blue and yellow happiness. Again, the only one who changed the pace of a slow Boca. On the left, in the first half, he struggled in one-on-ones. He switched to the right in the second half and found his place there. Nereo Fernández deflected a missile that was heading towards a corner, and it ended up hitting the crossbar. He served the two goals to Wanchope. The standout. The best. If it weren't for Pavón, what would become of this Boca?
Ramón Abila (8):
He showed Guillermo that Boca needs to play with a reference in the area, with a true "9", although at times he seems slow, out of sync with the team's rhythm. He was important in pivoting. Without him, for example, Pavón's blast that hit the crossbar in the first half would not have existed. Then, in the finish, he covered up a wasted situation under the goal with the other two resolutions that drew the victory, first by pushing it and then by eluding the goalkeeper with total peace.
Cristian Pavón and his incredible kick against a teammate
Gonzalo Maroni (5):
The kid whom many claim should get more playing time replaced Tevez. He tried to connect in the build-up and asked for the ball, but he struggled to make himself valuable.
Oscar Benítez (-):
He came on for Bebelo Reynoso and played less than twenty minutes. He did not influence the development.
Leonardo Jara (-):
He came on when almost nothing was left of the match. He was the substitute that Guillermo made so that the Bombonera would applaud the substituted, Pavón, Boca's rescuer.
