Boca reserves draw with Ferro and return to top of the table | OneFootball

On Matchday 13 of the 2026 Proyección Apertura Tournament, Boca’s reserve team visited Ferro in Pontevedra. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, despite the Xeneize side’s efforts to go in search of the win, something they almost achieved near the end of the game.

From the very first minute, the Xeneize team tried to impose its game, just as it did in the win over Colón in the previous round. Although the home side had some good spells, the match was almost entirely controlled by Mariano Herrón’s team. They pressed from every possible angle, though without the necessary sharpness to break the deadlock.

In the first half, they had two chances to take the lead, but Franco Pérez and then Lautaro Bianco failed to finish properly. As a result, they went into the break level on the scoreboard.

For the second half, Mariano Herrón brought on Iker Zufiaurre from the start in place of Leonel Flores. The forward had several chances, but could not break the deadlock. The head coach kept rotating the bench, sending Rodrigo Bacidalupe onto the field in the 29th minute, and later trying to add more mobility with the introductions of Kevin Ferreira and Dante González.

Herrón’s substitutions had an effect, and near the end Bacidalupe even had a chance to score after a great pass from Matías Calegari, but Verdolaga’s goalkeeper prevented his goal from being breached and capped off a match in which he was the standout player.

How the standings look

Despite this scoreless draw against Ferro, Boca still held on to first place in Zone B of the Proyección Apertura Tournament. Although they are level on points with Quilmes, they moved ahead on goal difference. The downside is that Herrón’s team was unable to take advantage of the chance to pull clear at the top because the Cervecero had lost this round.

Next match

On the next matchday, Round 14, the Xeneize side will host Huracán from Parque Patricios at the Ezeiza training ground. This match has been scheduled for next Wednesday, May 20, starting at 7:00 p.m.
