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 returned to be present at La Bombonera for a moment.
Darío Benedetto, who missed two penalty shots against 'Timao', missed again during the first half against the Cordoba team. In the 7th minute, 'Pipa' hit his shot off the crossbar.
However, the player forced a new penalty in the final stretch of the match, although, this time, Marcos Rojos seized the ball and inflated the net. After the match, the defender confessed that he talked to his teammate during halftime.
"In the dressing room, I asked him if there was another penalty, I wanted to take it anyway because he is in charge. He told me to take it because he wasn't feeling completely well because of the misses. Luckily, I scored and I'm very happy for the goal," he told ESPN.
Likewise, he highlighted the constant support of the Boca fans. "The Boca fan always shows it. In bad times is when they cheer 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 shirt and it is a privilege for me to play here," he added.
