As usual: Boca also won the reserve Superclásico against River | OneFootball

Just as happened in futsal and the first team over a span of five days, Boca's reserve team, managed by Mariano Herrón, also beat River in the Superclásico in the 2026 Torneo Proyección Apertura and is now firmly at the top of the Zone B standings.

The Ezeiza training ground was once again the setting for another victory over their archrival. On Matchday 10 of the Torneo Proyección Apertura 2026, Boca defeated River Plate 2-0, extending its excellent run in the division and strengthening its position as the sole leader of Zone B with 23 points.

The match had a clear turning point in the first half. Before the opening 30 minutes had elapsed, the visiting side was reduced to ten men after Cirilo Pereyra was shown a straight red card for a brutal kick on Gonzalo Gelini.

From that moment on, territorial control and possession were clearly in blue and gold’s favor. During that stretch, River’s goalkeeper had to be at his very best to deny Tomás Márquez, who had unleashed a powerful shot into the top corner, and to tip away a free kick from Santiago Zampieri that was clearly headed for the net.

The visitors’ resistance was finally broken in the second half. Nine minutes after the restart, following a great run by Dylan Gorosito, Agustín De La Cuesta, in his attempt to clear the danger, ended up scoring an own goal to make it 1-0.

The home team kept its foot on the gas and, just eleven minutes later, in the 20th minute, Leonel Flores appeared to make it 2-0 and put the game to bed in Ezeiza, where the first-team squad was in attendance during the first half.

This win for the Xeneize reserves came during a five-day span that featured three Superclásicos in different competitions. Boca and River faced each other in futsal, first-division football, and the reserve league, and in every match, the team from La Ribera came out on top over the side from Núñez.

Boca reserves’ next match

After this latest win, Mariano Herrón’s team will be back in action next Wednesday. The Xeneize side leads Zone B with 23 points and has pulled away from its main challenger, currently Quilmes. Lanús lost this round (the derby against Banfield) and fell behind Boca, after being neck and neck with them until the previous matchday.

The match between Boca and Independiente de Avellaneda will be played on April 29 at 7 p.m. at the Ezeiza training ground and corresponds to Matchday 11 of the 2026 Torneo Proyección Apertura, a title Boca is defending after winning it at the end of last year.
