Boca knock out Talleres and reach Torneo Clausura quarter-finals | OneFootball

Boca eliminated Talleres de Córdoba and will play the quarterfinals of the 2025 Clausura Tournament against Argentinos Juniors. At La Bombonera, Claudio Úbeda's team defeated Carlos Tevez's side 2-0 with two goals from Miguel Merentiel to advance to the next round and strengthen their position as title contenders.

The start was not good, as “la T” managed to trouble the Xeneize with very little and, despite lacking effectiveness, created danger near Agustín Marchesín’s goal. But as the minutes passed, Leandro Paredes and Milton Delgado managed to settle on the field and tip the balance in their favor.

Boca found the lead on the scoreboard after a set piece, a result of their dominance following the poor start. A cross from Leandro Paredes was headed by Lautaro Di Lollo, and although it seemed the ball had gone in, it was Miguel Merentiel who appeared to score the 1-0.

A handball by Changuito Zeballos near the end of the first half seemed like it might change the story, but Marchesín made the save to prevent the equalizer. After returning from the break and with plenty of motivation, the Uruguayan appeared again to make it 2-0 with a great finish after a cross from Lautaro Blanco.

Thus, Claudio Úbeda’s team reached the quarterfinals of the 2025 Clausura Tournament and will face Argentinos Juniors at La Bombonera, aiming for a spot among the top four in the competition.

When do Boca and Argentinos play the quarterfinals?

Although confirmation from the AFA is expected in the coming hours, the match between the Xeneize and the Bicho from La Paternal is expected to take place on Sunday, November 30 at La Bombonera, with the time yet to be confirmed.
