On a night of stunning goals: Boca reserves thrash Riestra | OneFootball

In their match for the second round of the 2026 Apertura Projection Tournament, Boca's reserve team, led by Mariano Herrón, thrashed Deportivo Riestra 3-0. The match was marked by spectacular goals and the young players with first-team experience stood out.

The youngsters played their first home game of the championship. Before the match, the opponents formed a guard of honor to recognize their achievement—or rather, achievements—since the team recently won the league title and the Champions Trophy last season.

The first round was away (they drew 2-2 against Belgrano in Córdoba), which is why the recognition took place before this match, in which Xeneize hosted Malevo. The night was perfect: it featured stunning goals and a rout.

The youngsters celebrate after the victory.

Boca Reserve's Goals Against Riestra

Mariano Herrón's team struggled at the start of the match and managed to take the lead towards the end of the first half. After a great play by Dylan Gorosito, which included a one-two with Leonel Flores, the full-back assisted Rodrigo Bacidalupe, who finished with his right foot to open the scoring.

With the lead, the players went into halftime and came out to play a second half that followed the same pattern as the first. Eleven minutes into the second half, Tomás Aranda made a great play, dribbling past defenders and assisting Miguel Ventos. The center forward finished with a backheel to extend the lead.

Six minutes later, Tomás Aranda scored the third and final goal of the night to seal the victory over Deportivo Riestra. Ventos delivered a great ball for Leonel Flores to run onto, who played it into the middle, and the midfielder sent it into the back of the net.

In this way, Boca achieved their first victory in this 2026 Apertura Projection Tournament, accumulating 4 points thanks to the draw in the first round. In the next match, they will visit Independiente Rivadavia on Tuesday, February 17, starting at 7:10 p.m.
