Boca ended a first semester of frustrations, as it did not even go to the group stage of the Libertadores (it even missed out on Sula) and stopped in the quarterfinals of the Apertura in Argentina.

There were reactions on the internet shortly after Auckland's goal.

Best decision?

Boca was happy only in these moments:
