Boca Juniors had enough to reverse the score and make it 2-1 over Independiente away in spite of having trailed until the 83rd minute. As a result, they are now sharing the top of the group A table with River Plate and Argentinos Juniors on four points. That victory extended their unbeaten run to four domestic matches (two wins and two draws). At home, they earned four points in as many matches in this competition. Last Wednesday, Boca beat Racing Club 2-0 at their own stadium to make it 2-1 on aggregate and advanced to the Copa Libertadores’ semi-finals.
Huracan’s three-game unbeaten run of two victories and one draw came to an end last time out when they were beaten by River Plate 3-1 at home. Following that result, Israel Damonte’s men dropped down to the fourth spot in group A on three points. El Globo is on four away matches without defeat, having managed two successes and two draws since losing at Talleres 4-2 in February.
Huracan has been an overish team and in this must-win situation, I have to expect them to play again an open game with goals.
