Boca advanced to the quarterfinals of the Torneo Clausura this Sunday after defeating Talleres 2-0 at La Bombonera in a challenging match that they unlocked with efficiency and confirmed with play in the second half.

Miguel Merentiel scored both goals: the first in the initial stage by heading in another header that hit the crossbar by Lautaro Di Lollo, and the decisive one 20 seconds into the second half by pushing in a cross from Lautaro Blanco against a sleepy defense. In between, Carlos Tevez's T - who received local affection - missed the equalizer with a penalty by Mateo Cáceres that Agustín Marchesín saved. Now, Claudio Úbeda's team will go against Argentinos Juniors for a spot in the semifinals.
