Boca player ratings in the draw against Millonarios

Bittersweet debut. Boca opened the year playing a friendly against Millonarios that ended in a goalless draw. There were some interesting things, but a lack of finishing left a bitter taste, especially since it was a chance to see some players who hadn’t had much playing time. Next Sunday, they will face Olimpia in San Nicolas.

Below, the analysis of the individual performances and ratings of the Xeneize players in the 0-0 draw against Millonarios at La Bombonera, for the Miguel Ángel Russo Cup, a trophy that will be contested every year and made its debut.

Agustín Marchesin (6)

Hardly troubled by the few attacks from the Colombian side, who only threatened with a cross shot that he handled without any problems.

Juan Barinaga (5)

Very hasty in some plays, he wasn’t able to support Aguirre in attack as he usually does.

Lautaro Di Lollo (6)

A discreet match from the Xeneize center back, who wasn’t troubled by the visitors’ attacks and cut off several plays with authority.

Ayrton Costa (7)

One of the few who played as if it were an official match. Solid defensively, he recovered several balls with strong marking.

Lautaro Blanco (5)

With a new number on his back, the Xeneize left back had a discreet game, with few advances and runs down his side.

Ander Herrera (8)

One of the team’s standout players, linking up with Paredes in midfield. Sought out the forwards often with his passes and showed flashes of the star he is.

Ander Herrera, the most outstanding player on the field in the 45 minutes he played.

Leandro Paredes (7)

Much deeper on the field, he was the team’s pivot in building from the back and connected very well with Ander in attack. He dropped off a bit in the second half after the Spaniard came off.

Milton Delgado (7)

The workhorse in a more creative midfield, who needed a player to do the dirty work and run everywhere.

Brian Aguirre (6)

Showed flashes on the right with some dangerous runs, leaving a good impression of the three-forward setup.

Miguel Merentiel (5)

With few attacking opportunities, he didn’t find his place in the system and couldn’t connect well with the wingers in Boca’s attacks.

Exequiel Zeballos (6)

Dangerous on every attack as he made a habit of last year. Had some chances and was the only one on the team who dared to shoot from various positions. Had a penalty at the end for the win, but took it very poorly and the goalkeeper saved it.

Williams Alarcón, Tomás Belmonte, Malcom Braida, and Kevin Zenón (-)

Came on to freshen up the team and give playing time to less-used players, but didn’t make a difference in the game.

Claudio Úbeda (5)

Set up a team very similar to last year’s, with Aguirre coming in for Giménez and a switch to a 4-3-3 formation. His team had some interesting ball movement, but continues to have major problems in attack and drew goalless with Millonarios.
