Boca will play this Wednesday against Almirante Brown, in a match corresponding to the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup, in its last test before the break. The winner will face Talleres de Córdoba.
Boca, which last year lost in the semifinals against Estudiantes de La Plata (which finally ended up winning the title), debuted in this edition with a resounding 3-0 win against Central Norte de Salta.
Xeneize arrives confident for this match, which will be played at the Malvinas Argentinas Stadium from 9:10 p.m., after the 1-0 victory against Vélez for the fifth round of the Professional Football League. In addition, there could be the debut of Chilean Gary Medel, who was introduced to the club last week and was already called up for this match.
But not all of them are good for La Ribera, since midfielder Jabes Saralegui suffered a tear and had to be ruled out for the squad.
Almirante Brown, for his part, beat San Martín de Tucumán in his debut in this tournament, in a great game that ended 3-3 and was decided on penalties.
In the First National they don’t come in the best way. In 19 games played they added only 16 points and are three points away from promotion, but on the last date they achieved a victory over Defensores Unidos that gave them some breathing space.
Daniel “El Indio” Bazán Vera, technical director of Almirante Brown, spoke on La Oral Deportiva (Radio Rivadavia) and recognized that “the game against Boca has to be played at the rhythm of the B Nacional.”
Despite the complicated present that the institution is going through and that they are going to face “one of the most important teams in South America,” Bazán Vera highlighted: “We also have our weapons. The match is going to be very important for the club.”
The winner of this match will face Talleres de Córdoba in the round of 16, who in their previous presentations defeated Agropecuario and Colón, respectively.
