Boca earned an important win at La Bombonera after beating Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero 3-1 on matchday nine of the Clausura Tournament. Thanks to goals from Ángel Romero and Enner Valencia, the team managed by Vasco Arruabarrena picked up 3 key points and climbed several spots in Group A that will be crucial in advancing to the local championship playoffs. In addition, their position in the overall table also changed.
After dropping two key points in their last Clausura match against Gimnasia de Mendoza, the blue and gold team was able to bounce back and return to winning ways at home. The emphatic victory over Central Córdoba allowed them to climb to fifth place in Group A with 14 points, the result of 3 wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss. The Xeneize are just 3 points behind leaders Vélez and currently in the playoff spots with 7 matches left before the end of the opening stage.
In the overall table, the position of Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side also changed. With 44 points, Boca climbed to fourth place with 44 points, just 2 behind leaders Argentinos Juniors. In their next Clausura match, the blue and gold team will face San Lorenzo on Sunday, September 20, away from home, hoping to stay on the winning track.
