Boca player ratings after defeat to Defensa | OneFootball

The analysis of individual performance and the scores of the players of Boca in the 2-1 defeat against Defensa y Justicia, for the tenth date of the Clausura Tournament 2025.

A hard blow for the Xeneize. The team today led by Ubeda, played a bad game and fell on their visit to Florencio Varela. With this fall and the results of the other teams, Boca came out in the annual of the qualifying zone for the next Libertadores, below Rosario Central, with one less, River and Argentinos.

Agustín Marchesín (2)

He stopped two very important balls with the game tied, but he came out recklessly in the penalty that opened the game, and went anywhere at the end for the victory of the home team. His level is already worrying.

Juan Barinaga (4)

Very active in a game that was played a lot by his sector of the field. He suffered quite a bit from Aguirre's positioning covering him.

Lautaro Di Lollo (4)

As usual, very firm from the defensive, rejecting all the deliveries and winning in almost all his crosses.

Ayrton Costa (4)

Consolidated in the backline with his partner, he didn't have many complications in defense.

Lautaro Blanco (3)

Little to nothing. He went up a lot but did not manage to generate danger to the team from Varela. From the defensive he suffered more than usual.

Rodrigo Battaglia (4)

He makes a good duo with Paredes in the middle, delivers without complicating and helps a lot in recovery. In such tight games and without help in midfield, more fluidity is lacking.

Leandro Paredes (7)

He is the soul of the team, although this one does not have its best version, the captain of the Xeneize manages to distribute and generate situations for his teammates. He tied the duel from the penalty spot.

Brian Aguirre (2)

Every game that passes, the former Newells loses offensive weight in that new support function he performs for Barinaga. Today he does not contribute in attack and cut a lot the fluidity of the side in the advances by that side. However, he should not have been the first modification.

Alan Velasco (4)

He returned to the starting eleven in place of Palacios. He played many minutes away from the offense, closer to Paredes than to the opponent's goal. Although he did not make mistakes and played simple almost always, he spent a lot for a forward who has done the least so far is play up.

Miguel Merentiel (3)

His performance is not the best, but with the double nine, which seems to be immovable, it is difficult for us to see again the version of the Beast that was seen during last year and the Club World Cup. He suffers a lot from the scheme and to top it off he is always the fixed one to leave.

Milton Giménez (2)

Very static and erratic. The bad physical condition was noticed as in the previous duel, but this time he completed it with vital errors in front of the goal for the Xeneize not to leave with the victory.

Kevin Zenón, Ander Herrera, Williams Alarcón and Lucas Janson (-)

The changes did not work for the Xeneize, and only a couple of actions from the Spaniard were highlighted from the players who entered.

Claudio Úbeda (1)

He had to lead the team due to the health problems Miguel is facing. He maintained the scheme and the eleven with only one forced modification due to injury. The problem is that his team did not find the way to the game and the changes were mostly one worse than the other.

Úbeda in charge of the team.
