No excuses: Boca thrashed Unión 3-0 in a brutal setback at La Bombonera | OneFootball

El Tatengue suffered a clear defeat on its visit to La Bombonera on Matchday 11 of the Clausura Tournament. Lautaro Di Lollo opened the scoring in the first half, and Leonel Flores sealed the rout with a late brace.

A difficult first half

The match got off to a complicated start for the Santa Fe side. Although the Xeneize picked up bookings in the opening minutes — with early yellow cards for Facundo Herrera and Leandro Paredes — the opening goal did not take long to arrive. In the 21st minute of the first half, Lautaro Di Lollo took advantage of a team move after an assist from Leandro Lozano and made it 1-0 for Boca.

Unión tried to respond with tactical adjustments, but bookings for Joaquín Mosqueira, Cristian Tarragona, and Ignacio Malcorra affected the battle in midfield.

No answers after the break and a late rout

For the second half, Unión’s coach went to the bench and brought on Lucas Menossi in place of Mosqueira. However, the red-and-white side lacked the attacking edge to trouble goalkeeper Leandro Brey.

Boca took advantage of the fresh legs off the bench in the closing stretch. Leonel Flores, who had come on in the 60th minute, was the standout player of the night:

A difficult outlook

With this result, Unión came away empty-handed from a venue that is always difficult, and returns to Santa Fe looking to regroup ahead of the final stretch of the tournament’s regular phase.
