A draw with a bitter taste for Boca at home. Úbeda's team did not play a good match, drawing 0-0 against Platense at home and will face the tough Racing next at La Bombonera.
Below, the analysis of the individual performance and ratings of the Xeneize in the 0-0 draw:
Did not suffer from the visitor's attacks but left some doubts in the small area exits.
Coming from a negative streak, with very difficult matches defensively and very little offensive projection. Today he was replaced by Weigandt again.
Solid defensively, hardly suffered from the Calamar's attacks. Wasn't very precise with the ball, often clearing from the back.
Also didn't suffer like his defensive partner, but his far exits led to losing some tricky balls in midfield.
Couldn't combine well with Janson on his side, often reaching the end line heavily marked. Still, he managed to deliver some crosses that reached their target.
A very contested match for the Ruso, who struggled to find his footing in the early minutes, but settled as the game progressed. He had to lead in the final minutes after Paredes left and also exited with a discomfort.
The Xeneize captain didn't have one of his best nights, with a team lacking dynamics, he never found a partner to connect with and had to resort to long passes. He left the field with an ankle pain that raises alarms.

Couldn't find his place in the early minutes of the match, although he settled in the second half and became the connector between the midfield and the Xeneizes forwards.
Debut as a starter for the Paraguayan as a right winger, with some attempts but difficulties in resolving in the best way.
The Beast started strong with an early advance but faded as the minutes passed. He was replaced by Cavani in the second half.
Had a good first half holding some offensive balls, but wasted the clearest chance for the Xeneize in front of the goal by taking too long to finish against the goalkeeper.
The substitutions aimed to refresh the team and although they succeeded, they weren't enough to turn the game around. The youngsters showed initiative, Chelo had ups and downs, and the Uruguayan returned after injury but didn't have much involvement other than the missed one-on-one that was offside.

Returned to the 4-3-3 formation that has become customary this year but with the inclusion of Janson, Ángel, and Alarcón. His team didn't work, drawing against Platense at home and leaving more doubts ahead of the tough match against the Academia next weekend.
