Summary
Boca liked it and Newell's left doubts
It was a close match in which for much of the match not many notable actions happened, but it became exciting towards the end. In the first half, Boca Juniors managed to take the lead after taking advantage of one of the few scoring opportunities they could generate. Although he did not clearly dominate, he showed a little more initiative to open the scoring. In the second half there was a similar development, with neither team imposing themselves strongly on the other. However, Boca managed to extend their advantage and from that moment on their game improved considerably, highlighting their calm and clear superiority. Near the end, the locals scored in an isolated play, which once again brought the excitement of the match into play. However, this situation was short-lived, as Boca managed to score the third goal to seal the match, taking advantage of a counterattack that they executed effectively, something that had cost them in the first half. In short, the visitors' victory was fair, especially due to their performance in the second half, where they were more forceful and effective.

Analysis of the first half
It was a highly contested first half in the center of the field, but with little deployment. Although Boca Juniors had more possession, neither team was able to control the game clearly, and most of the approaches by both teams lacked forcefulness in the rival area. The visitors managed to take the lead thanks to a play on the left wing that culminated in a shot by Langoni and a timely header from Medina after the rebound. However, beyond the goal, there were not many dangerous actions in a match that until now has lacked flashiness, with neither team managing to impose its dominance. Although Boca had some counterattack opportunities thanks to space, none of them were successful. On the other hand, Newell's based their game on centers and looking for opportunities through set pieces. Boca showed effectiveness in one of the few opportunities in which they managed to penetrate the rival defense, which allowed them to go into the break with the advantage on the scoreboard.
