Match8 Jun 2039

Maximiliano De Luca sends Boca Juniors to the final

1‑1, and a name the town will attach to this for as long as anybody remembers the season. Maximiliano De Luca did it in the one match where doing it is worth more than doing it beautifully.

Squad13 Jun 2039

Luka Guskov is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Luka Guskov: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Squad13 Jun 2039

A day Maximiliano De Luca will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match8 Jun 2039

Boca Juniors through in the cup

A 5‑0 win over San Miguel, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match8 Jun 2039

Whatever happens, Boca Juniors do not lose

12 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad13 Jun 2039

Nahuel Arias keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Boca Juniors may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market13 Jun 2039

Boca Juniors say no — this time

The offer from Instituto for Tobías Andrada was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad13 Jun 2039

Tempers go at Boca Juniors

Lautaro Di Lollo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match8 Jun 2039

The run at home goes on for Boca Juniors

10 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match20 Apr 2039

Michael Pearson sends Boca Juniors through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Michael Pearson obliged against Defensores. 5‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Boca Juniors.

Match23 Apr 2039

Boca Juniors leave it late against Newell's Old Boys

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 85th, and Newell's Old Boys spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Player ratings25 Apr 2039

Both of them Michael Pearson's — 8.07

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.07, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings25 Apr 2039

Age has not caught Lautaro Di Lollo yet — 7.93

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.93 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings25 Apr 2039

Tylon Smith goes up and wins it — 7.77

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.77 for the rest of it.

Squad25 Apr 2039

Lautaro Di Lollo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Boca Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market25 Apr 2039

Francisco Lencinas is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Boca Juniors is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match23 Apr 2039

Nobody wants to play Boca Juniors right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings25 Apr 2039

Nobody could get near Cristian Lucero

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
