This is it: Boca improved and deservedly beat Estudiantes at the Ducó | OneFootball

Boca beat Estudiantes in the postponed match from the second round of the 2026 Torneo Clausura thanks to Santiago Ascacibar’s goal and earned their first win of the Argentine championship so far. At the Tomás A. Ducó, Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side played as the home team while work continues on the condition of the pitch at La Bombonera.

A solid performance from the Xeneize, who thanks to Álvaro Montero and his saves withstood the best of El León, which came during the first half hour of the match. Even so, they never backed down and, with stretches of good football, went into halftime smiling thanks to the Rusito’s goal seconds before the referee signaled the break.In the second half, Boca were clearly superior, untroubled by an opponent that never found a way to hurt them, and they could have extended the lead. Arruabarrena’s men found a composure that was missing in Rosario, put passes together and kept possession, although they still suffer from the lack of a true presence in the box.Without much more, but with the importance of getting back to winning ways, the Xeneize left an encouraging impression, as it seems the coach has found a solid starting eleven in every area of the pitch. Still waiting for reinforcements up front, the weakest area, one could expect the improvement to become more noticeable as the matches go by.

Boca’s next match

After the big win over Estudiantes, Boca will return to the Tomás A. Ducó to host Vélez on matchday four of the 2026 Torneo Clausura. It will be on Saturday the 8th from 7:15 p.m. in Parque Patricios, against the team coached by a club idol: Guillermo Barros Schelotto.

Three days later, on Tuesday the 11th, they will host Paraguay’s Recoleta in the first leg of the 2026 Copa Sudamericana round of 16 from 7 p.m., while the return leg will be a week later on Paraguayan soil.
