Boca thrashed rivals to take third place in Copa Libertadores Futsal | OneFootball

Boca secured the last spot on the podium of the 2026 Men’s Futsal Copa Libertadores after beating Venezuela’s Centauros with complete authority, 6-1. In the third-place match, played this Sunday at the Sergio Luis Guerra Sports Center, the Argentine team managed to bounce back from the painful elimination suffered the day before and bowed out of the continental tournament with a commanding performance.

With clear intentions from the opening whistle, the side coached by Sebastián Coco Mareco quickly took control of the match and put it away in the first twenty minutes, going into halftime with a comfortable 3-0 lead. Unlike the semifinal match, this time the team managed to maintain its superiority both in play and on the scoreboard until the final whistle.

Although in the second half the team from Caracas pulled one back through Víctor Carreño, creating the slightest hint of doubt, Boca did not take long to respond and sealed the final result with three more goals.

This victory marked the end of an extremely positive week for the club, which was returning to the top continental competition after four years away. Throughout the tournament, the team showed a high level and managed to prevail against major opponents, including the reigning champion, Peñarol of Montevideo.

Although the dream of reaching the grand final vanished on Saturday after a 3-1 extra-time defeat in the semifinal against Brazil’s Magnus Sorocaba, Sunday’s rout was enough to earn a deserved place among the continent’s top three teams.

Beyond the strictly sporting side, the closing day had a special tone because this tournament was the last for the club’s General Futsal Coordinator, Hernán Garcías. The team’s head coach himself was in charge of confirming the imminent departure of his colleague, thus bringing a period of working together to an end.
