Boca’s striker broke down in tears after the goal was made as it was his first conquest after a cruciate ligament rupture injury he suffered while playing in Racing, in September 2019.Just after this advantage Arsenal began to improve his chances and performances. So much so that before the close of the first stage, Jhonatan Candia and Alejo Antilef took advantage of some maneuvers although without being able to tie the match. Already averaging the second half, Russo decided to send to the court several of his figures who were in the bank: Eduardo Salvio and Carlos Tévez to successfully regain the reins of the match although it lasted little. Arsenal showed off over the end of the contest in the 44th minute when Facundo Pons scored the draw that would already be final. Now, Boca must focus on the big goal of the Copa Libertadores, a tournament that will face him next Wednesday at 21.30 against Racing for the first leg of the quarter-finals.
