With an olimpico stunner, Boca reserves beat Platense | OneFootball

Boca’s reserve team, coached by Mariano Herrón, earned another win in the 2026 Torneo Proyección Apertura. They beat Platense 2-0 at the Ezeiza training ground with goals from Iker Zufiaurre from the penalty spot and an Olimpico goal from Leonel Flores.

The Xeneize side remains at the top of Zone B in the Torneo Proyección Apertura. This evening, they faced El Calamar on matchday eight of the regular phase and won, just as they have in most of their appearances. 

The first goal came in the 22nd minute of the first half from the penalty spot. Joaquín Ruiz was fouled inside the box by the visiting goalkeeper, who in his attempt to close him down ended up catching the Xeneize player’s foot. Zufiaurre converted the penalty with a powerful right-footed shot to the opposite side from where the keeper dove. 

In the 39th minute, Xeneize had a corner from the left and Leonel Flores took it. The forward, who had come on for Gonzalo Gelini, placed the ball and tried a shot that came off perfectly: he sent it over the goalkeeper (despite his great height) and into the net. A brilliant Olimpico goal to seal the match.

In this way, Mariano Herrón’s team claimed another victory: their sixth in this stage, to stay at the top of Zone B with 19 points. The same number of points as Lanús. Both teams also have one draw and one loss.
