Boca Juniors secured their first victory in the Professional League 2025, and La Bombonera was a celebration.

Edinson Cavani returned to the team and to scoring, opening the account against Huracán with a fortunate free kick; the Chilean Carlos Palacios stole the show with a real stunner, his first with the Xeneize jersey, which earned Fernando Gago's team the victory.

But the other big news for Boca was the debut of Agustín Marchesín in goal.

The experienced 36-year-old goalkeeper responded when called upon and had a couple of key saves, so it can be said that he passed the test.

"He's a guy who has a lot of personality, he has a very important track record in football" Gago highlighted in the post-match press conference.

"He needed to play" the coach affirmed. "He had been feeling a lot of anxiety during the week, logically wanting to keep goal, and today I thought it was the match for him to do it".

"He's a goalkeeper who's going to give us a lot" Gago concluded.

Marchesín also spoke after his Xeneize debut. "I enjoyed it very much" he said. He highlighted the good match of the team and the celebration that Boca's fans live every weekend.

Boca will play again next Saturday. They visit Racing at the Cilindro de Avellaneda. Gustavo Costas' team started the tournament very well and stands as one of the toughest rivals.
