Boca travels to Mexico needing a win and some help from Barcelona in order to win the group. VS Wednesday April 17 19:45 (Hora Argentina) Stadium: Toluca Ref: Imer Machado (Colombia) AGUANTE BOCA!!!
Riquelme played many matches so far? He's playing at a good level? I just watched one game with Riquelme on the pitch (Nacional 0-1 Boca, Libertadores).
He missed the first couple of games and played the last three. Hardly played in the Apertura, he's concentrating on La Copa. He's not yet at his best physically but he still makes the team better. Hopefully he'll peak for the elimination rounds.
As the injuries keep piling up, Bianchi looks for ways to revamp the defense. Likely lineup: 1 Agustín Orion 29 Leandro Marín 16 Lisandro Magallán 15 Matías Caruzzo 13 Emiliano Albín 22 Pol Fernández 5 Leandro Somoza 11 Walter Erviti 10 Juan Román Riquelme 7 Juan Manuel Martínez 25 Nicolás Blandi
Damn that was poor defending, way too easy to read the play and we got caught flat footed. Starting to press a little though but vulnerable on the counter.
Could be Corinthians or Olimpia too. In either case, we won't make much noise in the knockouts. This is a rebuilding season.
I know, I was just predicting based on the most likely scenario. But Libertad lost at home, so now it looks like Boca v Corinthians, with the winner playing Velez! very tough bracket. Unless either Caracus or Huachipato can score a late goal. Edit: And Huachipato did get a late goal. Beautiful FK. Actually that goal puts Boca into the killer bracket against Corinthians.
