Boca Juniors broke a bad streak of three consecutive defeats in the Professional League after defeating (1-0) Talleres with a penalty goal by Marcos Rojos. However, memories of the elimination at the hands of Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores were present at La Bombonera for a moment.
Darío Benedetto, who missed two penalty shots against the 'Timao', failed again during the first half against the Cordoba team. At 7 minutes, the 'Pipa' hit his shot on the crossbar.
However, the player forced another penalty kick towards the end of the match, although this time, Marcos Rojos took the ball and netted it. After the match, the defender confessed that he spoke to his teammate during halftime.
"In the locker room, I asked him if there was another penalty, I wanted to kick it anyway, because he is in charge. He told me to kick it because he was not completely well due to the fact that he had been missing. Luckily I scored and I am very happy for the goal," he told ESPN.
Likewise, he highlighted the constant support of the 'Xeneize' fans. "The Boca fan always shows. In the bad times is when they encourage the most and we feel it on the field, so this victory is for them," he mentioned.
"I am very happy being in Boca. I made a very important decision in my life by coming here, I love defending this club's jersey and it is a privilege for me to play here," he added.
