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

Boca eliminated Talleres de Córdoba and will play the quarter-finals 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 wasn't good, as Talleres managed to trouble the Xeneize with very little and, with low effectiveness, posed a threat to 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 the dominance they had after the poor start. A cross from Leandro Paredes was headed by Lautaro Di Lollo, and although it seemed the ball went in, it was Miguel Merentiel who appeared to score the 1-0.

A handball by Changuito Zeballos towards the end of the first half seemed to change the story, but Marchesín made the save to prevent the equalizer. After returning from the break and with great 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 quarter-finals of the 2025 Clausura Tournament and will face Argentinos Juniors at La Bombonera with the aim of securing a spot among the top four in the competition.

When do Boca and Argentinos play the quarter-finals?

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