Cavani ends five-month goal drought for Boca Juniors | OneFootball

After five months without scoring, the Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani found the net again this Sunday in an Argentine Championship match – he had scored in an Argentine Cup game last month. The Uruguayan was decisive in Boca Juniors' 2-0 victory over Banfield in the sixth round of the Clausura tournament.

The Xeneizes celebrated at the packed La Bombonera with a goal from Miguel Merentiel, who scored his ninth of the season early in the second half. Near the end, Cavani completed the score, capitalizing on a rebound from a Pellegrino header.

“The most important thing is for the team to win so we can get closer to our goal. Happy with the victory, personally, I scored again, which came from a rebound, but we have to be there. This is what we've been seeking for some time: consistency. The group is getting stronger,” commented the striker.

Cavani: numbers this year

In 2025, Cavani has played 19 games for Boca Juniors, with 4 goals and 2 assists. He hadn't scored in the Argentine Championship since March 16, in the match against Defensa Y Justicia.
