Central Córdoba vs. Boca Juniors: pre-match preview

With a complicated present due to a lack of football ideas in recent matches, the team led by Sebastián Battaglia will seek a victory that will allow them to arrive motivated for Tuesday's match against Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores.

On the home team's side, they come from a surprising victory away to Vélez Sarsfield. The match meant leaving behind a streak of four consecutive games without a win.

Boca Juniors took the lead away to Central Córdoba at the 3rd minute with a goal from Salvio. However, in the final minutes of the first half, the 'Xeneizes' suffered a defensive lapse and the home team found the equalizer.

At 45'+1', Francisco González Metilli entered the opponent's area, but goalkeeper Javier García tackled him. Immediately, the referee awarded a penalty kick amidst the protests from Sebastián Battaglia's team, who considered it was not a foul.

Then, Renzo López converted the penalty into a goal and unleashed the jubilation of the 'Ferroviario' fans at the Estadio Único de Santiago del Estero. The player took his revenge as he had missed a shot from the same spot minutes before.

If the result remains the same, Boca Juniors will be adding their fifth consecutive draw in the Copa de la Liga Profesional. The team has not been able to achieve victories and the fans have started to question the coach.
