Boca defeated San Lorenzo 2-0 with goals from Leandro Lozano and Miguel Merentiel at the Pedro Bidegain. The team managed by Rodolfo Arruabarrena knew how to take advantage of the numerical superiority and controlled the match however it wanted. In this way, it picked up 3 crucial points and solidified its place in the playoff spots in Group A.
After securing a spot in the Copa Sudamericana semifinals, Xeneize managed to carry that emotional boost into the domestic league and came away with a key win. The team from La Ribera beat San Lorenzo 2-0 at the Nuevo Gasómetro and moved up to 17 points. With this total, it held onto fifth place in Group A thanks to 4 wins, 5 draws, and just 1 loss.
In the overall standings, Arruabarrena’s side climbed to second place with 47 points, pending the matches of its main challengers. In this position, Boca would qualify directly for the group stage of the 2027 Copa Libertadores. On top of that, the blue and gold team is still alive in the Sudamericana and in the Copa Argentina, where it will face Racing in the quarterfinals.

Xeneize managed to make it into the final eight of the Copa Argentina after beating Vélez on penalties in Córdoba. While awaiting the Disciplinary Tribunal’s ruling on Vélez’s complaint over the inclusion of 6 foreign players, and with very little chance of disqualification, the club from La Ribera is optimistic and already focused on the clash against Racing.
The match against La Academia in the quarterfinals of the federal tournament will take place this Sunday, September 27, at a time yet to be confirmed and will be broadcast on TyC Sports. The Gigante de Arroyito will be the venue where Boca will look to book its place in the semifinals. In the coming days, the organizers will announce the officiating crew.
