Copa de La Liga: Boca end run of draws and Racing qualify

The #Bengals may be settling down for the offseason, but with Burrow and Chase they know they’re set offensively for a while. πŸ”₯

This catch had just a 13.4% completion probability. That’s the lowest chance on a 4th-down throw in the last THREE years. 🀯

After 23 seasons in the #NFL, and despite heavy links with the #49ers, Tom Brady announces his (second) retirement.

Not the way he would’ve wanted to go out, but for a 44-year-old who finished 3rd in passing yards this year, these numbers are sensational. πŸ‘‡

Fecha’s 11 and 12 of the Copa de la Liga saw some crucial encounters at the top of Group A & B for Estudiantes and Racing. River Plate suffered their first defeat since the SuperclΓ‘sico while Boca won for the first time since their victory over Los Millonarios. Here’s our round-up of the weekend action.

Fecha 11
Estudiantes put Tigre in their place

Estudiantes beat Tigre to make it four wins from four games in the Copa de la Liga maintain their position at the top of Group B.

Despite both sides having numerous chances the opening goal did not come until the 73rd minute when substitute Franco Zapiola fired in from outside the box to give Los Pincharratas the lead.

Mauro Boselli then doubled their advantage after some great build up play. El Matador got one back through NicolΓ‘s Demartini on the 91st minute but it was too little too late and Ricardo Zielinski side held on to the 2-1 victory.

It was a big win for Estudiantes in the race for top spot in Group B and a result which came with them having just 38% possession. However, they made up for it with the chances they created with 21 shots to Tigre’s 10.

Can anyone stop Racing?

Racing made it seven consecutive wins with a victory over Patronato at the Estadio PresbΓ­tero BartolomΓ© Grella.

Fernando Gago’s side took the lead on just the 8th minute as Nery DomΓ­nguez played a long ball forward to Javier Correa who latched onto it before lobbing MatΓ­as Mansilla to give his side the lead.

Patronato did not take long to respond and were level on the 13th minute as NicolΓ‘s Castro’s shot squirmed past GastΓ³n GΓ³mez.

La Academia were then awarded a penalty which was powerfully fired in by Matias Rojas to give his side the lead going into half-time.

Correa then added to his tally on the 56th minute with a carbon copy of his first goal with DomΓ­nguez playing a long pass for the striker to lift the ball over Mansilla.

A sloppy pass from Edwin Cardona gifted Patronato a goal back in added time as Axel RodrΓ­guez took advantage of this. Lucas OrbΓ‘n was then sent off on the 94th minute for pulling back Gabriel GudiΓ±o when he was through on goal.

Racing held on to win 3-2 in a match where they had less shots on goal with just 9 compared to Patronato’s 22.

River suffer shock defeat

After three straight victories River Plate suffered their first defeat in the Copa de la Liga since the SuperclΓ‘sico in a 1-0 defeat to Talleres CΓ³rdoba.

The goal came on the 53rd minute courtesy of a Diego Valoyes’ acrobatic finish. Marcelo Gallardo’s side had 65% of possession but with it only managed two more shots, 10 to La T’s 8.

Fecha 12
Boca back to winning ways

Boca Juniors finally put their run of four draws in a row to an end as they won for the first time in the league since the SuperclΓ‘sico with a victory over Central CΓ³rdoba.

Xeneizes took the lead on the 3rd minute as Γ“scar Romero’s cross was fired in by Eduardo Salvio.

Renzo LΓ³pez saw his penalty saved by Javier GarcΓ­a on the 22nd minute but made amends just before half-time. El Ferroviario were given another penalty and this time LΓ³pez smashed the ball past Garcia.

The second half saw Cristopher Toselli in inspired form denying Boca with some remarkable saves. However, on the 83rd minute SebastiΓ‘n Battaglia finally got over the mark. SebastiΓ‘n Villa’s crossed the ball to Salvio whose second of the game turned out to win the game 2-1.

Boca had 65% of possession but other then that it was a fairly even game with both sides having 7 shots on target.

The result leaves Boca second in Group B with 21 points only behind Estudiantes who have 25 points.

Racing into the knockout stages

Racing’s 0-0 draw with Newell’s Old Boys means they have qualified for the quarter-finals of the Copa de la Liga.

Fernando Gago’s side would have been frustrated that his side did not take all three points as his team had 72% of possession and 26 shots.

La Academia remain undefeated at the top of Group A with 28 points.
