No everything is lost. Boca Juniors had a forgettable afternoon against Newell's Old Boys and lost 2-0 for the Professional League. Although this result compromises Hugo Ibarra's team, the blue and gold squad still remains in first place with 48 units and with serious chances of lifting the trophy.
The main beneficiaries of the fall of the team to which the Peruvians Luis Advíncula and Carlos Zambrano belong are Racing de Avellaneda (47 points) and Atlético Tucumán (45 points). La Academia will face Lanús, while 'T' will face Unión de Santa Fe.

Although a victory for both teams could drop Boca to third place, it should be noted that Boca has a pending match and will have to regularize it in the coming days. Remember that a few weeks ago, the match against Gimnasia was suspended due to the incidents that occurred between the Police and the fans.

The Boca team is left with no margin for error for the rest of the competition. If they want to win the second tournament of the year, they will have to achieve a perfect score in their next three matches.
