Within the 10th round of the Apertura tournament Boca Juniors attained a spectacular victory on River Plate’s field. The match ended 1-0 and the ony goal was scored by Lucas Viatri. More power to the wining team, because during practically the whole second half it played with one man down on account of the sending off of Hugo Ibarra.
Throughout the whole game Boca Juniors proved to be the better team. Carlos Ischia’s men were always in control of the ball that gave the team the necessary poise in such an important match.
Regardig the ball control, Juan Román Riquelme was undoubtedly the axis of his team. All balls went through the playmaker, who in this role turned in a great job.
In the first half Boca did nothing noteworthy, except a shot by Jesús Dátolo.
Only 8’ into the second half Boca was beset by the misfortune of having its wingback Hugo Ibarra sent off. As of that moment the team added a plus to its performance.
But Boca’s great moment came at 15’ when Lucas Viatri received a cross from Riquelme, overcame his marker, and from the edge of the area fired a header that went in to the net at the left angle of keeper Ojeda’s goal.
After the goal Boca went backward on the field, continued in possession of the ball and succeeded in preventing River’s equalizer.
The end of the match brought Boca a new victory in the Superderby.
