This was Boca Juniors' last official match date when they defeated Deportivo Cali by the narrowest of margins to advance to the next round of the Copa Libertadores.

Facundo Kruspzky has had a hard time earning a starting place in the team, however, in the last game against Aldosivi he came on as a substitute and scored a brace to help his team get the win.

They say that second chances are not all good, but Darío Benedetto arrives strengthened and with more experience that could be key for the Xeneizes not only for this game, but for the rest of the season and especially for the second phase.

23 Alejandro Medina, 14 Gonzalo Goñi, 2 Ignacio Gariglio, 15 Damián Pérez, 4 Christian Chimino, 5 Dardo Miloc, 21 Leonel Picco, 33 Joaquin Ibañez, 30 Mauro Pittón, 7 Cristian Colmán, 27 Sebastián Lomónaco.

Although they finished in eighth place in the first phase of the sector, they only lost three games. The problem is that they drew on eight occasions where on several occasions they were saved, but on other occasions they forgave their opponents and let the three points go.

The second phase of the Argentine championship begins this weekend and Boca Juniors will try to impose conditions to finish among the best in the classification, so they will just be looking for the first three points after advancing to the Round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.

The Boca Juniors vs Arsenal match will be played at the La Bombonera Stadium, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The kick-off is scheduled at 18:30 pm ET.
