The defender took a ball on the line after a mistake by the goalkeeper that could have cost him dearly. Plays later, Changuito had the chance to overtake Xeneize, but they lacked aim. They tied 0-0.
The start of the second half of the goalless draw between Boca and Independiente was exciting. In the first play of the game, goalkeeper Leandro Brey made a mistake when picking up a cross and Marcos Rojo saved it with a great sweep down the line. Quickly, Xeneize had revenge, but Exequiel Zeballos’s attack ended in the post.
The ex-Los Andes had not had a good afternoonbecause he had seemed a little insecure when it came to going out to catch the ball in the air. For this reason, when Diego Tarzia sent a shot from the left into the area 30 seconds into the second half, Brey could not anticipate and almost hit it between the three posts. To prevent the goal, the center back with a past in the Argentine National Team appeared and quickly threw it to the side. The replay of the official broadcast showed that he had clearly not entered.

A few plays later, before five minutes, Exequiel Zeballos was one-on-one with goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey and sought to define his rival’s right post. Although he beat him, the ball crashed into the pipe and caused La Bombonerea to say “uhhh”, that a little while later he began to ask his players for attitude with the traditional song “Move, Xeneize, move.” After 0-0, people dismissed the team with whistles.
