Boca player ratings in the win over Olimpia | OneFootball

All set for the debut. Úbeda’s team delivered in San Nicolás and defeated Olimpia of Paraguay 2-1, with goals from Alan Velasco and Tomás Belmonte. With some strong points, Boca is now ready to face the next Argentine football tournament, still awaiting reinforcements for the team.

Below, the analysis of individual performances and player ratings for the Xeneize in the 2-1 win over Olimpia in San Nicolás.

Agustín Marchesin (7)

Key to the victory. Had no responsibility in the goal conceded and saved the team with great stops.

Juan Barinaga (4)

Did not impress on the flank, with little offensive action and some defensive doubts.

Nicolás Figal (7)

Regained rhythm after a long absence. Did not look out of place and had no trouble marking.

Ayrton Costa (6)

As usual, a very steady match from the center-back. Solid in marking and secure in distribution.

Malcom Braida (4)

Struggled to settle into the match after a poor first half. Needs to gain rhythm playing as a full-back.

Ander Herrera (8)

Rested again as against Millonarios, he once again completed an extraordinary first half, showing flashes of the star he is with the ball. He will be very important this year if he can stay healthy.

Tomás Belmonte (8)

Came into the starting eleven and did not disappoint. Scored the winning goal with a great header after a superb cross from Zeballos. From a footballing perspective, he fit right in and settled in midfield alongside Ander and Paredes.

Belmonte, one of the standouts.

Leandro Paredes (7)

Some flashes of his quality, but several stretches without much action, due to a flat match from the second half onwards. The important thing is that he completed his first preseason with his teammates.

Alan Velasco (6)

Struggles to get going, but the important thing was that he got minutes and scored again, after a shot that deflected off one of the visiting team's center-backs. Needs to keep gaining competitive rhythm for what's next.

Miguel Merentiel (-)

Was on the pitch for only a few minutes before feeling discomfort from a knock. The coach didn’t want to risk him and decided to take him off to avoid further issues ahead of the championship.

Exequiel Zeballos (8)

Quick and agile, the Changuito was once again the most dangerous weapon for the Xeneize. A great play down the left ended in Belmonte’s goal. He keeps improving and remains the most unbalancing player.

Lucas Janson (6)

Came on, after a long time, due to Merentiel’s injury. Did not look out of place and had two dangerous shots.

Lucas Blondel, Williams Alarcón, Milton Delgado, Lautaro Di Lollo and Brian Aguirre (-)

Came on when the match had lost its competitiveness and did not manage to make an impact.

Claudio Úbeda (6)

Repeated the formation and most of the names from the Millonarios match, bringing in several players who hadn’t been getting minutes. His team gained match rhythm and is ready for the start of the local tournament.
