Adam Bareiro will miss the Torneo Apertura last 16 if booked | OneFootball

After thrashing Defensa y Justicia 4-0 in Florencio Varela, Boca booked its place in the round of 16 of the Apertura Tournament with one match to spare and temporarily climbed to the top of the table, pending Estudiantes and Vélez playing their matches. The Xeneize’s last opponent in the regular phase will be Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero. For that match, Claudio Úbeda will likely rest Adam Bareiro, since if he is booked, he would miss the first playoff game.

The Paraguayan’s impact in blue and gold was almost immediate. After making his debut with a brace in the Copa Argentina, he established himself as a starter in Úbeda’s first-choice XI, scoring six goals and providing another assist since his arrival.

Like any true number nine, he is often seen battling with opponents or going to ground to win the ball back, reasons that have earned him four yellow cards in the Apertura Tournament. The most recent came yesterday in the win against the Halcón, after an argument with Rubén Botta.

Although first place in the group would be at stake in the final match against the Ferroviario, it would not be surprising if El Sifón chooses to leave Bareiro out so as not to risk losing him for the playoffs. If he avoids a yellow card in the clash against the side from Santiago del Estero, all bookings will be wiped, so the count will reset.

On the positive side, the former San Lorenzo player will be able to play the entire match against Cruzeiro without worrying about resting, in the middle of an extremely busy April for the team from La Ribera, which will play seven matches.
