Where Boca stand in the Apertura table after thrashing Defensa | OneFootball

Boca earned an important win against Defensa y Justicia at the Norberto "Tito" Tomaghello Stadium in Florencio Varela and climbed to the top of the table. With goals from Milton Gimenez, Alan Velasco, Adam Bareiro, and Miguel Merentiel, Xeneize won 4-0 and claimed its third straight victory after defeating Barcelona of Ecuador and River.

In the last scheduled round of the Apertura Tournament, the team coached by Claudio Úbeda managed to pick up another 3 points and moved into first place in Zone A while awaiting Estudiantes de La Plata’s match. The Xeneize has 27 points, the result of 7 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses.

As a result, the club from La Ribera will have to keep an eye on Pincha’s clash against Talleres at Estadio Uno, which will be played this Saturday, April 25, starting at 5:00 p.m. Meanwhile, the La Plata side is level on points with Xeneize, although Boca has the better goal difference.

It is worth noting that the Matchday 9 game, which had been suspended in protest over ARCA’s complaint against AFA president Claudio Tapia, is still pending. That match will be against Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero away from home next week. Although the day and time have yet to be confirmed, everything indicates it will be on Saturday, May 2, due to the Libertadores schedule.

When Boca plays again

After the important win in Florencio Varela, Boca is getting ready to take on a new challenge in the Copa Libertadores. The team coached by Claudio Úbeda is already focused on the away match against Cruzeiro. Although Xeneize arrives unbeaten and with one foot in the next round, it will be a great opportunity to show what this team is made of.

The match against the Belo Horizonte club, as part of the third round of the group stage, will take place this Tuesday, April 28, starting at 9:30 p.m. at Mineirão Stadium.

Boca has a perfect record in Group D after beating Universidad Católica away and Barcelona at La Bombonera. The Brazilians, meanwhile, have only picked up 3 points from their win over the Ecuadorian side, as they lost to the Chileans in the second round.
