YouTube Shocker: Boca Juniors Fans Celebrate Palmeiras Goal
Rarely do we see, through YouTube, fans of one team celebrating the goals of another club. But it happens. For example, Boca Juniors fans cheered and celebrated, this Wednesday, a goal by Palmeiras: in the Bombonera itself and when the 'Xeneize' was playing for their lives against Alianza Lima.
As shown in the YouTube video, the thousands of Boca Juniors fans were thrilled with Miguel Borja's goal against Junior, which helped the Barros Schelotto's team qualify for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. In the mythical stadium of Buenos Aires, they not only cheered for that goal, but for two more.
The reason was that a victory for Palmeiras over Junior, which finally materialized, would secure Boca Juniors' passage to the next stage considering that the 'Xeneize' was already convincingly beating the Peruvian team with goals from Cardona, Farbra, and Ábila (x2).
In the end, Boca Juniors advanced to the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores by thrashing Alianza Lima 5-0 in Buenos Aires, while Palmeiras eliminated Atlético Junior by defeating them 3-1 in Sao Paulo and cemented themselves as the best team in the tournament this Wednesday on the sixth and final matchday of Group H.
