Boca stun River after the break: Merentiel scores again | OneFootball

Emboldened by the favorable result, Boca came out with everything in the second half and caught River off guard right from the start thanks to a goal by Miguel Merentiel, who thus extended his scoring streak in Superclásicos (it's the fourth goal for The Beast). And, of course, true to his style, he celebrated it with euphoria.

It took the Xeneize just two minutes to extend the lead they had at halftime. The Millonario had a miscoordination at the back between Lucas Martínez Quarta and Kevin Castaño, which Exequiel Zeballos took advantage of in his dream Superclásico, making them pay dearly.

El Changuito broke through on the left wing, no one could stop him and assisted the Uruguayan in the heart of the area so he only had to push it in. Merentiel waited in the right place and put his right foot to break Franco Armani's net and decree Boca's 2-0 against River.
