WATCH | Boca and Vélez drew in the Argentine Professional League Cup

Boca Juniors could not break the tie against Vélez Sarsfield in the ninth round of the Professional League Cup. One of the plays that could have changed the course of history was protagonized by Luis Advíncula, who projected himself and took a powerful shot, which was ultimately contained by goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos.

The match was approaching the 85th minute and the 'Xeneize' had possession of the ball in the build-up, while the opposing team waited on their territory. Due to the slow transition, Óscar Romero took a few steps back and completely changed the rhythm with a through pass.

The Paraguayan enabled Luis Vázquez, who in turn did the same with Luis Advíncula, who had moved forward at full speed. After controlling the ball, the Peruvian right-back entered the area, making a diagonal run, while the entire Vélez Sarsfield defense was completely surprised.

After finding a small space, 'Bolt' executed a powerful left-footed shot towards the near post guarded by goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos. The shot was destined for goal, but the goalkeeper had an impressive reaction and diverted the ball at the last moment, sending it out for a corner. Tranquility came to the 'Fortín' fans.

With the goalless draw at the José Amalfitani Stadium, Boca Juniors remains in second place in Group B, accumulating 16 points, tied with leader Tigres, although with a worse goal difference. Meanwhile, Vélez is in ninth place, with 10 points.
