Goal by Villa, from a penalty: he tied it 1-1 for Boca against Patronato in the Copa Argentina.

Boca Juniors was surprised in the first half of the match against Patronato and started losing in the semi-final of the Argentine Cup, but the response came shortly before the end. Colombian Sebastián Villa did not hesitate from the penalty spot and found the back of the net to equalize the score 1-1.

The clash on the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario turf exceeded 70 minutes, and the author of the goal had created the foul that was ruled by referee Yael Falcón Pérez as a penalty kick for 'Xeneize'. Immediately, there was joy among the fans present in the stands.

Villa, with a lot of confidence, took the ball, lined up, and shot towards the left post, deceiving goalkeeper Facundo Altamirano, who dived towards the other side (73'). Sebastián celebrated with a little dance in front of the stands but was hurried by his teammates, as they aspire to turn the match around.

Boca vs. Patronato: pre-match

The champion of the Professional League enters the action and aims for another star to end the season on a high note. The team coached by Hugo Ibarra won the domestic championship title last Sunday at La Bombonera after drawing 2-2 with Independiente and with Racing's 2-1 loss to River Plate.

Due to the proximity between one match and another, 'Negro' Ibarra will make several changes in the lineup. Thus, Marcelo Weigandt and Agustín Sandez must take charge of the wings; Cristian Medina, Esteban Rolón, and Martín Payero in the midfield; Sebastián Villa, who scored a great goal against 'Rojo', will start along with Nicolás Orsini and Norberto Briasco.

On the other side, Patronato has the desire to end the year with a title, after being relegated. The team from Paraná kept several starters in the victory over Huracán at home. In this sense, coach Facundo Sava dreams of delivering another blow in the cup tournament, just as they did in the previous round when they eliminated River Plate on penalties.
