Boca beat Unión and snapped a losing streak in the Copa de la Liga Profesional

Boca Juniors returned to victory this Friday, after three games, by defeating Unión de Santa Fe 2-1, in a match valid for the ninth round of the Copa de la Liga Profesional (LPF). At La Bombonera, the team led by coach Jorge Almirón snapped an adverse streak of two consecutive defeats (0-2 with River Plate and 3-4 with Belgrano de Córdoba) to avoid being so far behind in the classification of zone B of the competition. The Xeneize team reached 10 points and provisionally occupies the tenth position, although it was located two points away from entering the Copa Libertadores, through the annual table. Captain Marcos Rojo (Pt. 7m.) and striker Miguel Angel Merentiel (St. 26m.) scored the goals for the winning team, where coach Almirón preferred to give training to the players, who are presumed to be available for the most part to play the final of the Copa Libertadores against Fluminense, scheduled for Saturday, November 4. in Rio de Janeiro.Attacking midfielder Mauro Luna Diale (Pt. 42m.), a man who emerged from the Boquense academy, established the partial equality for the “tatengue” team, which finished with ten, due to the expulsion of defender Franco Calderón (Pt. 27m.). Boca will play this Tuesday at 19:00 against Racing in Avellaneda, while Unión will host Defensa y Justicia that same day, but starting at 17:00
