Boca Beats Talleres 2–0 as La Bombonera Honors Carlos Tevez

Tevez cast the elimination as the start of a 2026 rebuild with public backing from Talleres president Andrés Fassi.

Overview

  • Before kickoff, Boca’s board presented Tevez with a framed No. 10 jersey and a commemorative plaquette delivered by Marcelo “Chelo” Delgado.
  • Boca’s La 12 chanted his name and unfurled a large banner reading “De Boca, vago y atorrante,” underscoring his enduring idol status.
  • The 2–0 defeat at La Bombonera knocked Talleres out in the Torneo Clausura round of 16 and closed their 2025 season.
  • Tevez said, “This is not the end, it’s the beginning,” signaled a major squad overhaul for next year, and noted finishing issues that included a missed penalty.
  • Defender Matías Catalán praised the team’s effort, highlighted season-long scoring problems, and voiced support for Tevez, whose tenure has already included averting relegation and reaching the knockouts.
