He eliminated Almirante Brown with goals from Uruguayans Merentiel and Cavani.
With goals from Miguel Merentiel, at the close of the first stage, and Edinson Cavani, at the beginning of the second, Boca beat Almirante Brown 2-1 in Mendoza and advanced to the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup. In the next instance they will have Talleres de Córdoba as their opponent, who has just beaten Colón de Santa Fe 1-0.
Boca was superior from the beginning and sought to reach the rival goal in various ways. He was able to realize his intentions after a takeaway from Cristian Lema, a run from Cristian Medina and his subsequent authorization of Merentiel, who he defined low and cross. The same Uruguayan made the partial 2-0, after an interception by Equi Fernández.
Almirante did not give up and achieved the discount, in the 77th minute, through a popcorn from Santiago Vera. The Xeneizes had clear situations in the second half, such as a shot by Kevin Zenón, over the goalkeeper, which was cleared off the line.
This victory closes the first semester for Boca, which is still in the race in the two Cups (Argentina and Sudamericana) and won in its last presentation in the tournament (1-0 against Vélez).
