Boca hit historic scoring run last seen in the 1960s | OneFootball

Boca are flying on all fronts after a 3-2 win over Racing in the Copa Argentina quarter-finals, sealed by an Enner Valencia hat-trick. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, the victory also extended a historic streak not seen since the 1960s.

Since Rodolfo Arruabarrena took charge, the Xeneize have looked transformed from the first half of 2026. There is clear attacking edge and goals shared across the front line.

The last 10 Boca goals have all been scored by foreign players. Miguel Merentiel netted against San Pablo and San Lorenzo, Leandro Lozano scored against San Pablo and San Lorenzo, Ángel Romero struck twice versus Central Córdoba, and Valencia scored against Central Córdoba then hit three against Racing. Kevin Zenón was the last Argentine to find the net.

History shows the previous lengthy sequence of consecutive goals by foreign scorers came in 1961. Paulo Valentim scored four across two matches, a hat-trick against River and one against Huracán, before Ernesto Grillo ended the run against Lanús. Valentim actually hit seven in succession, but it does not count towards the mark because Ferro Carril Oeste’s 4-0 included an own goal as the fourth.

Earlier, Delfín Benítez Cáceres, Boca’s top-scoring foreigner, managed a similar run that did not pass three, sharing the load with Roberto Cherro and Francisco Varallo, second and third in the club’s list behind Martín Palermo. The current 10-goal streak could be extended when Boca face Unión de Santa Fe at La Bombonera on Friday 2 October at 21:30, in matchday 11 of the Torneo Clausura.
