Boca reserves returned to winning ways: thrashed Colón 3-0 | OneFootball

Boca’s reserve team made a strong statement in Santa Fe and claimed a convincing 3-0 win over Colón. Mariano Herrón’s side returned to winning ways and reached 26 points in Zone B of the 2026 Proyección Tournament.

With this great away result, secured thanks to goals from Gonzalo Gelini and Leonel Flores, the Xeneize side has strengthened its position as the sole runner-up to the current zone leader, Quilmes, who now has 27 points in the standings.

Despite the joy at the end, the match began with very bad news for the visitors, as Camilo Rey Domenech had to be substituted after five minutes due to a muscle issue. However, the team managed to recover mentally and opened the scoring in the 45th minute of the first half.

The man who broke the deadlock was Leonel Flores, who made it 1-0 thanks to a precise assist from Lautaro Mendieta just seconds before the referee blew for halftime. The team went into the break with the lead.

In the second half, the visitors’ superiority quickly turned into a rout thanks to their attacking efficiency and Gonzalo Gelini’s magnificent brace. In the 20th minute of the second half, the forward doubled the lead to make it 2-0 after receiving a pass from Franco Pérez and rounding the goalkeeper.

Just seven minutes later, Gelini took advantage of a huge mistake in the home side’s build-up to seal the final 3-0. With this win, the team has strengthened an excellent campaign that now stands at eight wins, two draws, and two defeats.
