OneFootball Videos

Agustín Marchesín (5)

He couldn't keep a clean sheet. Not responsible for Unión's goal, he was blocked by several teammates and couldn't see the ball to follow the play, despite appearing defeated too early. In the second half, he was key. He made three great saves.

Marcelo Weigandt (4)

Boca's right-back remains a big question mark. Chelo still doesn't show his best performance. He struggles a lot whenever the opponent attacks down his side and has no impact offensively. The chipped cross to Bareiro's chest that led to the club's equalizer from La Ribera stands out.

Lautaro Di Lollo (5)

The best of the central defense. Solid in the air and ground duels. Neat, although with some errors in playing out from the back. Towards the end, he had a minor clash with Tarragona.

Ayrton Costa (3)

His level is increasingly lower. From being one of the best defenders in Argentine football to making several mistakes that leave a mark. In Unión's goal, he went out too far, lost his mark, was exposed, and couldn't recover. He committed a reckless foul in the center circle.

Lautaro Blanco (5)

At times he struggled in defense. In attack, he remains one of Úbeda's favorite options. He advanced with purpose and sent crosses, though with a clear lack of precision.

Santiago Ascacibar (6)

He was one of Boca's best players during the first half. Recovered several balls and positioned to the right of Leandro Paredes, he had a more offensive role. Made some accurate passes to put Merentiel in front of the opponent's goal, which he couldn't capitalize on. He was substituted in the early minutes of the second half.

Leandro Paredes, the best of Boca (8)

Nothing to add. He is the best player on the team. He took control of the midfield and every time he had the ball at his feet, he was the team's main conductor. He dropped back several meters to receive between the central defenders. Made several long passes behind the opponents. Scared everyone when his ankle got stuck in the turf. He recovered and had the chance to score with a surprising low free kick that Mansilla responded to well.

Milton Delgado (6)

Good match from the young player. From the first minute, he showed firmness in defense. Tried to generate play, attacked spaces, and towards the end of the first half, dared to shoot from mid-distance. Sent a left-footed cross to Bareiro, who improvised a scissor kick in the air.

Tomás Aranda (5)

The youngster's performance improved over time. Knowing he is one of Boca's offensive options, every time he touched the ball, he had several opponents on him to suffocate him. In the second half, he settled better. He connected with Paredes and raised his level. He was substituted in the final minutes due to fatigue, replaced by Alan Velasco.

Miguel Merentiel (5)

Despite the goal, he had a poor match. Mixed good moments with bad ones. At the start of the match, he had two chances in front of the opponent's goal that he couldn't capitalize on. In one, he got tangled with the ball, and in the other, it was cleared off the line. After the rebound goal, he improved significantly. Received a long pass from Paredes, had a long run, and assisted Bareiro, whose goal attempt was thwarted.

Adam Bareiro (7)

He feels increasingly comfortable wearing Boca's jersey. Plays very well with his back to the goal, rebounds all balls correctly, and is sharp in attack. Tonight he had two clear chances to add to his tally, but Mansilla denied him. First, with an improvised stunt after a cross from Delgado, then he attempted a bicycle kick that the post denied, and finally, the former Estudiantes player made a phenomenal save against the Paraguayan forward.

Ander Herrera (5)

The Spaniard came on 5 minutes into the second half in place of Ascacibar. In his initial interventions, he looked dynamic and willing in attack. Made a sensational through pass at the start of Boca's goal play. As the minutes passed, he lost prominence.

Alan Velasco and Malcom Braida (-)

Too few minutes to be evaluated. Velasco came on for Aranda and played again after 10 matches. Had some positive interventions with two shots on goal. One lacked power and was off-target, and the other, he tried hard to alter the ball's trajectory. Meanwhile, the former San Lorenzo player came on for Merentiel, positioned ahead of Weigandt with an offensive role.

Claudio Úbeda (4)

Repeated the same eleven that drew against San Lorenzo last round at La Bombonera. After criticism for making only one change with three minutes left against Unión, he made substitutions five minutes into the second half. Despite the team's improvement in the second half, his tenure at Boca remains precarious.
