Boca thrash Unión at La Bombonera, go for it all | OneFootball

Huge win for Boca at La Bombonera, where they beat Unión de Santa Fe 3-0 thanks to a goal from Lautaro Di Lollo and a brace from Leonel Flores, in a match corresponding to the eleventh round of the 2026 Torneo Clausura.

The Xeneize dominated from start to finish and deserved a much wider margin based on what they showed throughout the 90 minutes. Such was the superiority of Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s team that the first half left a bittersweet feeling: although they took the lead through Di Lollo after a cross from Leandro Paredes, they should have gone into the break two or three goals ahead.

In the second half, they had three clear chances in the opening five minutes, but lacked precision in front of goal. Outstanding performances from Milton Delgado and Paredes allowed them to control the tempo of the game, while Leandro Lozano became an explosive option to take advantage of the Tatengue’s weak resistance on the left side of its defense.

Boca were only able to extend the lead after the introduction of Leonel Flores. The youngster, who recently made his debut for the Argentina national team against Bolivia in Córdoba, was key for the team coached by El Vasco. He scored the second with a brilliant finish and then improved even further in the execution to score the third and complete a brace in an unforgettable week for the young academy product.

With this 3-0 win over Unión, the Xeneize remain firmly in the hunt on three fronts. They also strengthened their position in the overall table and, thanks to the draw between Independiente Rivadavia and Gimnasia, managed to cut the gap to the Mendoza side, leaders of the standings, to two points.
