Boca player ratings in the draw against Central Córdoba | OneFootball

The analysis of individual performance and player scores for Boca in the 2-2 draw against Central Córdoba at La Bombonera.

A draw with a bitter taste. The Xeneize played an excellent first half, but the lack of response from the substitutes' bench allowed the opponent to gain strength, and they ended up suffering at home. With this draw, they missed the chance to pull away from Central in the annual standings and ended up with the same points and one more game.

Agustín Marchesín (3)

Doesn't provide guarantees and each game has an unusual situation. He could have done a bit more on the goal, although it wasn't entirely his fault, and the Xeneize almost lost it at the end due to his senseless decision to come out far.

Juan Barinaga (5)

With good connections in a first half where everything flowed, he started to struggle defensively in the second half and made errors with the ball at his feet when he had to clear or reject passes.

Lautaro Di Lollo (6)

He continues to establish himself as an undisputed starter in the central defense. In addition to his existing defensive strengths, he has started to add offensive plays and today even dared to lead a bit and break lines from the back.

Ayrton Costa (6)

Like his defensive partner, he was very solid defensively, with some interceptions, especially in the first half, and some plays with the ball. He supported Blanco a lot in his advances on the left.

Lautaro Blanco (5)

Very offensive and active, he attacked a lot and always presented himself as an option both offensively and to open up the field with his width. He crossed a lot but lacked a bit of precision in each delivery.

Rodrigo Battaglia (6)

He understands very well with Paredes in the midfield. He opened the game towards the end of the first half by taking advantage of a rebound in the small area and defeating Aguerre. He lost a header in the opponent's goal.

Leandro Paredes (8)

The standout player of this team and the reason Boca started to gain fluidity with the ball. Today he controlled all the rhythms of this team, unfortunately, the lack of substitutions quickly exhausted Boca.

Brian Aguirre (5)

He tried a lot and helped a lot in covering for Barinaga, but he wasn't sharp with the ball at his feet and offensively he had little impact. He deserved to be substituted, but he was the only one still helping in defense.

Carlos Palacios (3)

He had a couple of good minutes during the team's good football phases, but he quickly struggled physically and left the team practically with one less player. He had little involvement in the second half.

Miguel Merentiel (6)

He returned to share the forward line with another center forward, and today there was a bit better fluidity in that partnership. He returned to scoring with a good frontal shot that beat the Central Córdoba goalkeeper.

Milton Giménez (6)

He replaced Cavani and despite providing a level of sacrifice that the Uruguayan hadn't been contributing, he seemed physically off. He had some good connections with Merentiel and participated in both goals.

Alan Velasco (-)

He entered the game late and practically didn't connect with any of his teammates in the offense.

Miguel Ángel Russo (2)

His team played not only a great first half but perhaps one of the best football moments of the year. Unfortunately, technical decisions and the lack of responses were the causes of this result. Just ten minutes into the second half were enough to realize that Boca was suffering from fatigue while the opponent brought fresh players onto the field. It was truly incomprehensible to make only one substitution and keep several players who couldn't contribute physically anymore.
