Boca held to 0-0 draw by Platense, leave La Bombonera to whistles | OneFootball

Boca drew 0-0 against Platense in the fifth round and left the field under a rain of whistles at La Bombonera. The team led by Claudio Úbeda once again showed problems generating play and failed to break down an organized opponent who took a valuable point as visitors.

Xeneize had the clearest chances, especially in the first half with a header from Lucas Janson that was saved by Matías Borgogno and another opportunity in the second half where the striker himself couldn’t finish. There were also complaints about a handball in the visitors' box that referee Sebastián Zunino considered accidental.

In the second half, Boca tried with the introductions of Edinson Cavani, Marcelo Weigandt, and Gonzalo Gelini, but ran into the defensive solidity of Calamar. Additionally, alarm bells rang when Leandro Paredes asked to be substituted due to physical discomfort.

Platense, for its part, relied on organization and counterattacks with Franco Zapiola and Juan Gauto, and even had a clear chance in the first half that hit the post. The Vicente López team executed its plan and took an important draw against one of the favorites.

With this result, Boca still can’t find consistency in the tournament and is starting to feel the murmurs of its fans, who saw the team off with whistles after another match without goals or footballing answers.
