Boca ratings as Ascacibar seals 1-0 win over Estudiantes at Ducó | OneFootball

Boca claimed three important points at Tomás Adolfo Ducó, beating Estudiantes de La Plata 1-0 in a rescheduled Clausura matchday two. Debuting their 2026/27 shirt, Santiago Ascacibar scored against his former club, declined to celebrate and gestured an apology.

Boca shook off the flat weekend display against Newell’s and produced their best football. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, this was the response the side needed.

Álvaro Montero underpinned the clean sheet with three first-half stops, twice denying Carrillo and pushing away a long-range effort from Tobio Burgos. In first-half stoppage time, a long Boca move ended with Lautaro Blanco squaring for Ascacibar to finish.

Leandro Paredes dictated midfield, an eight, with Milton Delgado, seven, breaking up play and starting the move for the goal. Marco Pellegrino, seven, stood out at the back, Lautaro Di Lollo solid with a six. Leandro Lozano was the least assured, a five.

Tomás Aranda combined well and delivered the cross before the goal. Leonel Flores, seven, was the main threat and went close after the restart.

Miguel Merentiel struggled as the lone reference up front, a four, miscuing passes and dropping deep for touches. Sebastián Villa, a three, could not beat his man. Alan Velasco brought impetus, while Kevin Zenón and Camilo Rey Domenech had too little time to rate.

Rodolfo Arruabarrena, seven, restored Lozano and Delgado and chose Pellegrino over Costa. He later made four changes, with Velasco growing in confidence and a plan to reintegrate Camilo Rey Domenech. The points aid Boca’s Group A climb.
