The Boca Juniors reserve team led by Mariano Herrón continues its strong run in the 2026 Torneo Proyección Apertura. Tonight, they thrashed San Martín de San Juan 4-1 in the match for the fourth round, played at the Ezeiza training ground.

The youngsters led by Mariano Herrón barely faced any trouble in defeating the team from San Juan. In the 17th minute, Gonzalo Tomás Marquez opened the scoring with a fine right-footed shot after an assist from Lautaro Mendieta.

Marquez was once again involved in the second goal, as in the 21st minute he assisted Leonel Flores, who scored the second goal of the evening at Boca Predio, which was attended, for example, by club president Juan Román Riquelme.

Pereyra managed to pull one back for San Martín de San Juan, but minutes later he scored an own goal. The defender accidentally put the ball in his own net while trying to clear a great cross from Leonel Flores, and the goalkeeper couldn't prevent the ball from going straight into the net in the 41st minute of the first half.

Finally, in the 26th minute of the second half, Lautaro Mendieta appeared with an individual play in which he dribbled past several opponents and set himself up to finish with his right foot. The midfielder opened up his right foot and placed a precise shot to score the fourth goal for the Xeneize.

In this way, Boca secured another victory in the Torneo Proyección Apertura, their third in four matches played, reaching 10 points. They share the top spot in Zone B with Granate.
