Arruabarrena admits Boca did not deserve win over Lanús | OneFootball

Boca under Rodolfo Arruabarrena claimed another win, defeating Lanús at La Bombonera in the seventh round of the Torneo Clausura thanks to Tomás Belmonte's goal. The result helps their push up Group A and the Annual Table in the race for international places.

Lanús carried the greater threat for long spells and created several chances against Álvaro Montero that went unconverted. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, Arruabarrena showed his frustration repeatedly on the touchline.

Post-match he acknowledged the points were vital yet accepted Boca did not deserve the victory and that Lanús had been superior. He added that winning while playing below par still benefits their position.

The coach said his side lacked the fluency of recent outings but took risks to chase the game, with late Lanús counter-attacks looking dangerous. He praised Montero's display and highlighted centre-backs Lautaro Di Lollo and Facundo Herrera.

Arruabarrena confirmed Lautaro Bianco is stepping up to the first team as he considers a replacement for Tomás Aranda, who has had successful surgery on a fractured right fibula. Bianco will begin training with the senior squad tomorrow and the coach hopes he adapts quickly. He referenced faith in youngsters such as Gorosito, Camilo Rey Domenech, Facundo Herrera and Leo Flores, stressing that call-ups must contribute.
