Boca Juniors didn't take long to take the lead against Aldosivi, who stood their ground at La Bombonera. There was a defensive error and Martín Payero took advantage of it, signing the 1-0 for the 'Xeneize' in the 24th round of the Argentine Professional League.
In the 11th minute, Francisco Cerro tried to pass the ball to his teammate Mario López, but his execution was poor. Payero reacted quickly and went after the ball. With the ball in his possession, the Argentine forward ran towards the 'Tiburón' goal and scored against the departure of José Antonio Devecchi.
Boca vs. Aldosivi: the match preview
Last Thursday, the 'Xeneize' could only play nine minutes against the 'Lobo' in La Plata. The match was interrupted due to incidents outside the stadium. The Police used tear gas, which spread to the field and players and fans were the most affected. In light of this, the referee decided to suspend the match.
Waiting for the remaining part of that match to be played, Boca enters the new challenge in second place with 42 points, two less than the leader Atlético Tucumán, who will visit Racing Club on Monday.
On the other hand, Aldosivi ended their streak of eight games without a win on Tuesday - with six consecutive defeats - by beating Barracas Central 2-0. The 'Tiburón' is bottom of the table, with only sixteen points.
