Boca Juniors started the Professional League on the wrong foot. With some absences and their minds set on the Sudamericana, Xeneize lost 1-0 away to Atlético Tucumán, in a match for the 1st date of the local tournament. With the crucial match against Fortaleza for the Cup on the near horizon (Wednesday, in La Bombonera), coach Diego Martínez decided to preserve players, including creative midfielder Kevin Zenón and Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani. In that context, youthful midfielder Milton Delgado made his debut as a starter.
Atlético Tucumán, after a poor campaign in the recent League Cup, showed a much improved version and with Joaquín Pereyra as their banner they fairly prevailed over a Boca team that reacted too late. The Dean was about to take advantage as soon as the match began, but Renzo Tesuri’s goal was disallowed by Pablo Echavarría after being called by the VAR, in a controversial decision: the referee understood that a player who was supposedly ahead interfered in the response from goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
Finally, Facundo Sava’s team managed to break the deadlock with an excellent counterattack finished in the six-yard box by Mateo Coronel, at 29 minutes. He even made merit to go to the locker room with a greater difference. In the second half, as expected, Xeneize pushed in search of a tie and with more attitude than football generated a couple of chances, but goalkeeper Tomás Durso responded well and Atlético Tucumán celebrated against Boca at home for the first time in 15 years.
The ownership of Frank Fabra, who suffered another poor performance, the great game of Miguel Merentiel and the surprising Atlético Tucumán, which is motivated every time it plays against Boca Juniors and River Plate, were some of the topics chosen by users on social networks with the classic memes. Below, the best ideas from the fans who lamented the defeat and the not-so-fanatics who celebrated it.
