The Boca reserve team led by Mariano Herrón defeated Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza 1-0, in the match for the fifth date of the Proyección Clausura Tournament. With a goal from Juan Cruz Payal, they ended the negative streak after losses to Racing and Huracán, and repositioned themselves near the leaders.
The Xeneize team struck early with a great collective play that started from the back with Herrera, continued with Giménez and ended with a great assist from Gelini that enabled Payal in front of the goal to define crossed and put the Xeneize ahead in just 25 seconds.
The match was presented as a back and forth duel, with a lot of arrival from both teams but with difficulties to disturb the goalkeepers. On the Xeneize side, only a shot from Simoni generated enough danger to make the local goalkeeper act. On the part of the Mendoza Lepra, there were no shots that generated a greater response from a firm Díaz Robles who did not hesitate in any.
Regarding performances, Matías Satas made his debut in the Xeneize reserve, with a great performance and no difficulties for the boy who just became champion with the Argentina National Team in L'Alcúdia. Along with him, Zampieri had another great game with a lot of effort and interesting things were seen again in the offensive from Aranda, who had several very outstanding advances with the ball at his feet.
With this victory, Herrón's team approached one unit from the leaders, Belgrano and Barracas, who have not yet played their matches. The next match will be against Banfield at Boca Predio next Tuesday.
