The praise for Advíncula after the 'xeneize' victory over Vélez:

The 32-year-old football player had a standout performance in Boca's victory over Vélez Sarsfield and the Argentine press highlighted it. "He closed the wing and contributed in attack," they said.

The 32-year-old football player had a standout performance in Boca's victory over Vélez Sarsfield and the Argentine press highlighted it. "He closed the wing and contributed in attack," they said.

Luis Advíncula is not used to being a standout player at Boca Juniors, as the team's performance is usually below expectations despite some victories. However, last Saturday night was very different for the 'Rayo': he had an important role in Boca Juniors' victory over Vélez Sarsfield (1-2) and was praised by the Argentine press.

It was not an easy match for Hugo Ibarra's team, especially for the Peruvian right-back. Although Vélez Sarsfield was not overwhelmingly dominant, they always found spaces to create danger in the game. Within this context, 'Lucho' stood out on the right wing, having to deal with the dribbles of Francisco Ortega and Lucas Janson.

The newspaper 'Olé' rated him with a commendable 6.5, describing his game as follows: "Ortega and Janson troubled him at the beginning, but the Peruvian improved and contributed to Boca's comeback in the first half. He excelled in one-on-one situations, defended well, and helped in the attack".

Ezequiel Fernández's expulsion (68') made the night uphill for Boca, as Janson had just equalized (66') after Luca Langoni's goal (32') in the first half. However, despite being outnumbered, 'Negro' Ibarra's team managed to take the victory with Jorge Figal's late goal (87').

In this way, Boca Juniors accumulated ten points in the league table and positioned themselves in fifth place in the Argentine Professional League 2023, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in five matches. Vélez, on the other hand, remained with five points, two draws, two losses, and one victory. Not only that, but they also lost their head coach after Alexander Medina's dismissal.

When will Luis Advíncula play for Boca again?

Boca Juniors will have another match on Wednesday, March 1st when they host Patronato de Paraná in the Copa Argentina 2023, in the scheduled game at 7:15 p.m. at the Único Madre de Ciudades stadium. Ibarra may decide to play with some substitutes and give rest to their starters to be fresh for their upcoming matches in the Professional League.
