Benedetto missed a penalty; Marcos Rojo did not: this is how Boca Juniors reached 1-0 against Talleres.

Darío Benedetto missed a penalty in Boca Juniors vs. Talleres, for the eighth round of the Professional League of Argentina, but the 'Xeneize' had another unbeatable chance to score. This time, 'Pipa' did not take the shot. Marcos Rojo grabbed the ball, kicked it, and made the thousands of fans at La Bombonera explode with excitement.

The center-back did not hesitate to take the shot after the referee reviewed a VAR action in which Benedetto received a harsh foul from Rafael Pérez. The judge determined the penalty, and Rojo took care of signing the 1-0.

With that goal, undoubtedly, tranquility came to Boca Juniors, who was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores a few weeks ago and lost 2-1 to San Lorenzo in the Nuevo Gasómetro, in their recent league match.

In the end, the score did not change. The 'Xeneize' rediscovered victory and reached twelve points, ranking tenth. Meanwhile, Talleres stayed with five units and is twenty-seventh, just above bottom-placed Aldosivi.

"I am very happy to be in Boca Juniors. I am very happy. The truth is, I made a very important decision in my life, to play with this shirt. I love defending it in every game here at La Bombonera, away. It is a privilege to play for this club," said Rojo, after the match, in an interview with ESPN.
