Another lacklustre display: Boca lose to Belgrano | OneFootball

Another afternoon-evening to forget in what began with a heartfelt and deserved tribute to Miguel Ángel Russo. As during his last stint as coach, the players didn’t respond and Boca fell to Belgrano at La Bombonera 2-1 on matchday thirteen of the 2025 Clausura Tournament.

The Xeneize created several chances, but never managed to pose real danger to the goal well guarded by Thiago Cardozo. The lack of finishing was obvious, and the opponent, who came to concede possession and bet on a counterattack, found the opener in the second half.

Boca fell to Belgrano at La Bombonera.

Lautaro Di Lollo committed an unnecessary penalty, allowing Lucas Passerini to score the first. The blow was felt, and just four minutes later, another Boca lapse ended in a rebound that Leandro Paredes put into his own net, with no response from Agustín Marchesín, who once again failed to save the team.

There was no attitude, but there was push, and thanks to the introduction of Exequiel Zeballos, who pulled one back and generated more danger, although the Xeneize never capitalized on the chances. There’s nothing more to highlight; it was another afternoon to forget, another afternoon where dropped points could mean another year without playing the Libertadores, and where there wasn’t even an effort to honor the memory of the head coach.

Boca and a result that complicates qualifying for the cup

With this defeat, Boca was overtaken by Argentinos Juniors in the annual table, although they still have the pending match against Barracas Central. For now, they are third and would qualify for the early phases of the Libertadores, the same stage in which they were eliminated by Alianza Lima this year.

A River win over Talleres could even drop them into Copa Sudamericana spots. And if the outlook couldn’t be worse, they would also fall out of the playoff spots in the Clausura Tournament. The clash against El Guapo will be a turning point, since if they lose, the context would be frightening for a squad that, when things go wrong, doesn’t know how to respond.
