With two braces, Boca’s reserves thrash Banfield | OneFootball

The Boca Juniors reserve team led by Mariano Herrón thrashed Banfield in Ezeiza by 5 to 1, in the match for the sixth round of the Torneo Clausura Proyección. With braces from Gellini and Zufiaurre, and another goal from Aranda, the Xeneize secured their second consecutive win to join the fight at the top.

The Xeneize squad dominated from start to finish and went into halftime comfortably ahead thanks to goals from Gellini and Aranda. The first goal came at the 12th minute, after a header from Ventos left Gellini alone in front of the opposing goalkeeper.

To increase the lead, Tomás Aranda came up with a great play and finished with a shot placed against the left post.

Near the end of the first half, Gellini again received the ball with his back to goal, held off his marker, and finished with his left foot to the left post to settle the match early.

In the second half, the Xeneize controlled the tempo of the match a bit more and, after the Taladro pulled one back, regained their advantage with a goal from Zufiaurre, who capitalized on a rebound off the post to beat the visiting defense.

Near the end, he beat everyone to a cross sent in by Zampieri to beat the goalkeeper from the southern team and seal a great night with a rout included.

With this victory, Herrón’s team reached twelve points and is now in second place behind Belgrano, while waiting for several rivals who have yet to play and could overtake the Xeneize. The next match will be in Mar del Plata against Aldosivi, who are ninth with only six points in the Torneo Clausura.
