Zufiaurre double sends Boca past River into Torneo Proyección final | OneFootball

Boca Juniors and River Plate faced off at the Xeneize club's grounds in Ezeiza for the semifinal match of the Torneo Proyección Clausura. The team led by Mariano Herrón won 2-0 and advanced to the final.

After a flat first half that became very frictional, the team from La Ribera managed to open the scoring only around the half-hour mark of the second half. Iker Zufiaurre received a precise cross to the head and, despite his short stature, jumped higher than everyone and scored with a header.

Zufiaurre was the author of the second goal. The Xeneize took advantage of a mistake in River's defense, which was already exposed, and after a run down the left by Gonzalo Gelini, the winger appeared in the middle to control it and push it into the net.

Thus, Boca won 2-0 against River in the semifinal, eliminating them from the championship and securing a spot in the final. In that stage, they will play against Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata. El Lobo did their part by thrashing Argentinos 4-0.
