When Boca are next in action after reaching Sudamericana quarter-finals | OneFootball

Boca thrashed Recoleta 4-0 in Paraguay with goals from Santiago Ascacibar, Sebastián Villa, Miguel Merentiel, and Alan Velasco. Thanks to a 7-1 aggregate score, Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side advanced to the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. However, before the next round of the international tournament, the Xeneize will face a new challenge in the Torneo Clausura.

The blue and gold side played its best match since Vasco returned to the bench. The team managed to turn possession into scoring chances and found the net three times to secure qualification. In that sense, they will try to replicate that performance in the next round of the domestic competition, where they will face Racing away from home.

Boca will visit La Academia this Sunday, August 23, starting at 9:30 p.m. as part of Matchday 6 of the domestic tournament. While Arruabarrena’s team is coming off a draw against Platense in the last round and a rout of Recoleta in the Sudamericana, the Avellaneda side lost to Banfield and is now winless in its last four matches.

Besides being a clásico and everything that comes with it, this match will have a special edge. It will be Boca’s last game before the long-awaited return to La Bombonera. The stadium is in the final stages of preparing the pitch to welcome the team back. The return to Alberto J. Armando Stadium will take place against Lanús on Friday, August 28.
