Colón let it slip: Boca turn it around at the Brigadier López | OneFootball

Colón’s Reserve team had a tough day in their quest to reach the round of 16 in the Copa Proyección. The team led by Martín Minella started off winning against Boca, but couldn’t hold onto the lead and ended up losing 2-1 at the Brigadier Estanislao López stadium, in matchday 15 of Zone A.

The match began promisingly for the Sabalero: just 5 minutes into the first half, Iván Ojeda capitalized on a good team play and finished precisely to put the score at 1-0. However, Boca, with composure and patience, leveled the match before halftime: Gonzalo Gelini scored in the 36th minute, leaving everything even at the break.

In the second half, Boca took advantage of their moment of superiority. At 7 minutes, Joaquín Ruiz appeared with a precise finish to make it 2-1, a result that Sabalero couldn’t overturn despite their efforts to break through the visitors’ solid defense. Boca ended up justifying their victory with authority and established themselves as one of the strongest teams in the tournament.

With this result, Colón fell out of the qualification zone, now four points behind Argentinos Juniors, the last team currently set to advance to the round of 16, while Barracas Central, Estudiantes, and Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza remain in the fight in the middle of the table. For their part, Boca became the new leader, displacing Belgrano and extending their lead over their pursuers.
