Marchesín, Merentiel shine as Boca beat Talleres 2-0, reach quarters | OneFootball

Xeneize won 2-0 at La Bombonera with a brace from Merentiel against a T side that started better and wasted the chance to equalize with a penalty from Cáceres that was saved by Agustín Marchesín. Now, Úbeda’s team will face Argentinos Jrs.

Boca secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Torneo Clausura this Sunday after defeating Talleres 2-0 at La Bombonera in a tough match that they managed to unlock with efficiency and confirmed with their play in the second half.

Miguel Merentiel scored both goals: the first in the opening half by heading in after another header from Lautaro Di Lollo hit the crossbar, and the decisive one just 20 seconds into the second half, pushing in a cross from Lautaro Blanco past a sleeping defense. In between, Carlos Tevez’s T—who received a warm welcome from the home crowd—missed the chance to equalize with a penalty from Mateo Cáceres that was saved by Agustín Marchesín. Now, Claudio Úbeda’s team will face Argentinos Juniors for a spot in the semifinals.
