Boca stun River after the break, Merentiel scores again | OneFootball

Emboldened by the favorable result, Boca came out firing in the second half and caught River off guard right from the start thanks to a goal by Miguel Merentiel, who thus extended his scoring streak in Superclásicos (it’s the fourth goal for La Bestia). And, of course, true to his style, he celebrated it with euphoria.

It took the Xeneize just two minutes to widen the lead they had taken into halftime. The Millonario suffered a defensive miscommunication between Lucas Martínez Quarta and Kevin Castaño, which Exequiel Zeballos took advantage of, in his dream Superclásico, and made them pay dearly.

Changuito broke down the left wing, no one could stop him and assisted the Uruguayan in the heart of the box so he only had to tap it in. Merentiel waited in the right spot and put his right foot in to break Franco Armani’s net and seal Boca’s 2-0 lead over River.
