When Boca play again after their Copa Argentina win | OneFootball

Boca is already focused on its next international commitment after sealing a solid qualification in the Copa Argentina. The team from La Boca has no room for rest in an extremely demanding schedule, which forces the coaching staff to carefully manage the physical workload of its players.

The club from La Ribera is coming off a strong showing at Rosario’s Coloso Marcelo Bielsa stadium, where it comfortably defeated Sarmiento de Junín 2-0. Thanks to goals from Alan Velasco and Leonel Flores, the blue-and-gold side secured a place in the round of 16 of the federal tournament. At that stage, it will face Vélez Sarsfield in a match that would be played in late August.

But before that match, things do not slow down for the Xeneize, and the competitive urgency shifts the spotlight to the continental stage. Boca’s next match will be against O'Higgins in the Copa Sudamericana. The cup clash will take place next Thursday, July 23, starting at 9:30 p.m. at La Bombonera. The match against the Chilean side corresponds to the first leg of the round of 32.

The coaching staff understands that the performance shown on Santa Fe soil must be the platform on which to build collective consistency for the immediate future. That is why, after the squad’s day off this Friday, they will return to training on Saturday to begin preparing for the match against the Chileans.

This clash against the Chilean team represents a real acid test for the aspirations of the blue-and-gold institution in the second half of the year. Securing a considerable advantage at home will be essential in order to face the return leg a week later at El Teniente Stadium in Rancagua, considering that in between they will also make their debut in the Torneo Clausura against Riestra.
