Boca player ratings in the win over Barracas

Boca managed to return to victory after the defeat against Belgrano at La Bombonera. The team led by Claudio Úbeda faced a very tough match against Barracas Central at the Claudio Chiqui Tapia Stadium, where they won 3 to 1 thanks to a double from Milton Giménez and the remaining goal by Miguel Merentiel.

The Xeneize settled in the Torneo Clausura and also in the annual table, as they returned to the qualifying zone for the 2026 Copa Libertadores and surpassed River by one point. Against El Guapo, the blue and gold team had great individual performances, key for the final comeback.

Agustín Marchesín (4)

Although the goal was a great shot from outside, it caught him very surprised given the little action he had been having. He didn't anticipate it nor did he show any intention of stopping the shot.

Juan Barinaga (6)

Key cross for Giménez's second goal. Boca's right-back was one of the highest points defensively in the first half and did not falter in the second. He was replaced by Advíncula.

Lautaro Di Lollo (6)

When he gets home, he will have to check his pockets to see if Candia is still there. He controlled him as he wanted, never making him a threat to Marchesín's goal. Impeccable.

Ayrton Costa (6)

He didn't have major disputes and showed confidence, although he was hurried in the exit. Although he wasn't given much work, he managed to adapt outside of his natural role and collaborate with possession.

Lautaro Blanco (4)

Blanco is used to having these kinds of matches. When his aim is on point, he's an assisting machine. When it's not, his good intentions come to nothing due to the lack of danger in his crosses.

Williams Alarcón (4)

He didn't cover the shot for Barracas' goal that opened the scoring. Weak, uncomfortable, it's not the position he should occupy. He was replaced and the team improved.

Leandro Paredes (9)

Simplicity is a virtue. Paredes was the best on the field by a wide margin, as he understood at all times how to manage the match. He controlled the timing and was the master of the game, even when Barracas was at their strongest. He reached the fifth, will serve a suspension against Estudiantes, and will be clear of cards for the Superclásico.

The Xeneize played a great second half and secured a crucial victory in their visit to Barracas.

Milton Delgado (8)

Paredes leads, Milton supports. He did everything well, not a single mistake. Solid in marking, tidy in the exit, and at one point, it was impossible to tell if he was alone or if there was more than one Delgado on the field, as he appeared in every opponent's play.

Carlos Palacios (3)

He got booked foolishly and lost his way. He was taken off because they targeted him to even the numbers, and the coach read the situation perfectly. Weak.

Miguel Merentiel (6)

From the flanks, he didn't contribute as expected. In the middle of the area, he found the goal that had been eluding him. Clearly, that should be his role.

Milton Giménez (7)

He was slow, inaccurate, and the ball wasn't reaching him. In the second half, he broke through with two goals, a result of being where he should always be, and started to lift his game. Important.

Exequiel Zeballos (8)

He should have come on earlier because the match demanded it. He had already shown with Belgrano that he was agile, and today he made it clear. He gave Boca a different rhythm, was vital in finding spaces, and built from his dribbles. He missed the goal, but assisted Merentiel.

Ander Herrera (6)

With him came the leadership the team lacked with Palacios. He seems out of rhythm, but with the intelligence the team needs. He was correct in everything, although somewhat rushed.

Luis Advíncula (6)

Ruíz was forcing Barinaga to endure a lot of wear, but with the Peruvian, Barracas' player was stopped. He controlled him at all times, completely nullifying him.

Tomás Belmonte (6)

He came on to disrupt, but it's worth noting that he also sought to take the game to the opponent's field at all times. Good.

Brian Aguirre(-)

Too little time on the field to be evaluated.

Claudio Úbeda (8)

Just as he failed the reading with Belgrano, today was a luxury. He got everything right: Zeballos to unbalance and win it, Ander to control the ball with the numerical advantage, and Advíncula to nullify Ruíz. The plan worked but not with the initial names, so he found the solution at the right moment.
