Ten wins in Brazil: River match Boca's historic record | OneFootball

River snatched a dramatic win over RB Bragantino with a last-gasp goal by Lucas Martínez Quarta and claimed a huge victory in Brazil, something it had not managed in five years. Curiously, the Copa Sudamericana win drew it level with Boca in matches won in the neighboring country, a statistic that had always been associated with the Xeneize.

El Millonario celebrated its tenth match won on Brazilian soil, ended a five-year drought, and caught up with its eternal rival, which has not done so since 2020 (a 1-0 win over Inter in Porto Alegre, with a goal by Carlos Tevez, who celebrated with Diego Armando Maradona’s shirt). Curiously, the Núñez side is very slightly more efficient in this statistic, since it got its wins in 54 matches, while the team from La Ribera needed 55.

The first time the Banda won in Brazil was in 1997, when, with goals from Marcelo Gallardo and Marcelo Salas, it beat Vasco da Gama 2-0. From then on, it defeated Gremio, Flamengo, and Corinthians twice each, and Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, and Bragantino once each. It is worth noting that only half of those victories came in the Copa Libertadores.

On the other hand, Boca managed to win a match on Brazilian soil for the first time in 1978 against Atlético Mineiro. After that victory, it went on to beat Flamengo, Vasco da Gama, Santos, Paysandú, Gremio, Cruzeiro, Fluminense, Atlético Paranaense, and Internacional, without repeating against any of them. Nine of those matches were in the Libertadores, the most memorable being the 2003 and 2007 finals against Santos and Gremio respectively, as well as the 2000 final against Palmeiras, which was decided on penalties after a goalless draw.
