Defenders lifted a new title with that 'Xeneize' shirt, which enjoyed the ballet of Julio Melendez in the late sixties and saw Nolberto Solano shine alongside Diego Maradona in the nineties. Zambrano won his fifth star (two Copa de la Liga, two Superligas and one Copa de Argentina) and placed himself one behind José Pereda as the Peruvian with the most trophies in Boca's history. Advíncula, on the other hand, has three trophies (one Copa de la Liga, one Superliga and one Copa de Argentina).
"He didn't score any goals, but the save in front of Benega (with the goal empty and Rossi out of the scene) in the first half was celebrated almost like a goal at La Bombonera. He made some mistakes, it's true,but he played a true final. With gritted teeth and also with criteria, especially in the second half," was the analysis made by the Argentine newspaper Olé about Carlos' performance, which they rated with eight points, one of the highest.
"Although Lucas Rodríguez fell in the area as soon as he felt the contact on one shoulder,Advíncula committed a childish penalty and complicated Boca. The Peruvian cost them the game. He made many fouls and ended up booked," said the aforementioned medium about Advíncula, who had one of the lowest scores (5).
"I thank my teammates because today they won a very difficult game. I'm always a man who faces situations head-on and I assume when I make a mistake," commented the right back of the Peruvian national team about his poor performance.
But beyond that, Peru celebrates that two of its representatives lift a title once again in foreign lands with the white and red flag by their side. Each one arrived in different moments and contexts; however, today they have earned the affection of the 'Xeneize' fans. That's why three Argentine journalists help us analyze their current situation and their importance in Hugo Ibarra's team.
