Boca beat Olimpia in pre-season, Velasco and Belmonte scored | OneFootball

Boca Juniors defeated Olimpia of Paraguay 2-1 in a preseason friendly played at the Estadio Único de San Nicolás.

The match had a surprising start, as Olimpia took the lead 12 minutes into the first half with a goal from Hugo Quintana, whose cross was deflected by a defender and caught the Boca goalkeeper off guard.

However, the reaction from the “xeneize” team was swift. In the 27th minute of the first half, Alan Velasco equalized with a powerful right-footed shot from outside the box that also took a deflection.

Seven minutes later, in the 34th minute, Boca went ahead. After a play set up by Exequiel “Changuito” Zeballos down the left wing, Tomás “Toto” Belmonte appeared unmarked at the far post and connected with a powerful header to seal the final 2-1 score, a result that held despite an altercation between players from both teams after the goal.
