Boca Juniors won over Platense last weekend in the Professional League and now wants to continue advancing in the Copa Argentina. For now, they are achieving their goal as they are winning 1-0 against Agropecuario.
At 25 minutes, Óscar Romero took a corner kick and, in the area, Pol Fernández fought against the mark of an opponent. However, the Argentine midfielder withstood the pressure and took a strong shot to defeat the resistance of the goal defended by Williams Barlasina.
For now, 'Xeneize' is advancing to the next round of the tournament, while Agropecuario, who is playing with 10 men due to the expulsion of Milton Leyendeker at 8 minutes, will have to react to turn the match around.
Boca Juniors vs. Agropecuario: preview
The 'Xeneizes' smiled again in the Professional League, after the victory over Platense 2-1 at La Bombonera. Immediately, the team of Hugo Ibarra turned the page to confirm the triumph in the cup competition. Before facing that match, the club surprised with the hiring of goalkeeper Sergio 'Chiquito' Romero.
The new '1' of the 'azul y oro' already trained with his teammates, but he will stay training in Buenos Aires. Meanwhile, 'Negro' Ibarra is preparing up to six changes from the team that won at home against Platense: goalkeeper Javier García, defenders Frank Fabra, Jorge Figal, midfielder Martín Payero, and forwards Nicolás Orsini and Exequiel Zeballos will be present.
On the other hand, Agropecuario is in 24th place in the promotion table with 32 points and, for now, is six points away from the positions that grant a place in the playoffs. The team led by Diego Osella is going through a tough time, as they have gone five consecutive matches without a victory (two defeats and three draws). The last success was on July 9.
