When Boca play again after their Torneo Apertura exit | OneFootball

The tough and early elimination from the Apertura Tournament must be left behind for Boca. The Xeneize side must quickly turn the page and think about its next commitment, which is vital to stay alive in the Copa Libertadores.

The team managed by Claudio Úbeda suffered a defeat that hit hard and once again found itself at the center of the storm. The 3-2 loss to Huracán from Parque Patricios at home brought back doubts about the team.

The elimination from the Apertura was a hard blow for the team.

This defeat and elimination from the domestic tournament must be left behind and the team must turn the page because in the Copa Libertadores there is no time for regrets. Boca needs to win its next two matches in the continental competition to avoid depending on other results and advance to the next round.

The positive news for Úbeda’s side is that there is time to prepare for the match. Xeneize will play again on Tuesday, May 19. That day, they will host Cruzeiro in the fifth round of the Copa Libertadores group stage at La Bombonera. The match will kick off at 9:30 p.m.

Boca will play its next match against Cruzeiro.

After that match, the team will play again at Alberto J. Armando Stadium for the final group-stage match against Universidad Católica. The clash against the Chilean side will be on Thursday, May 28, starting at 9:30 p.m.

Boca still has the Copa Argentina left

With the elimination from the Apertura Tournament, Boca will be able to approach its Copa Argentina match with more recovery time, since if it had advanced, the turnaround between matches would have been extremely tight and the organizers were not clear on where to fit it into the calendar.

The Copa Argentina organizers stipulate that the Round of 32 match between Boca and Sarmiento must be played before May 31. With the team’s early elimination from the local tournament, ideally the match would be scheduled for next weekend, but considering how soon it is and the logistics that must be arranged, that seems unlikely.

Xeneize has 3 matches left this half of the season.

So if it is not played on the weekend of Sunday the 17th, the remaining options would be the weekend of Sunday the 24th or even May 31, after the continental competition matches.
