Overview

• Exequiel Zeballos and Alan Velasco added to an opening own goal by Ezequiel Centurión to close out the victory at Malvinas Argentinas.
• Velasco’s first Boca goal came after 23 appearances and drew a tearful celebration following months of scrutiny tied to his fee and a missed penalty against Alianza Lima.
• Edinson Cavani missed a close-range chance, showed frustration at being substituted, and responded to home-fan insults with provocative gestures as he left the field.
• Cavani later posted a brief message of resolve, while an Italian mayor publicly urged Napoli to consider bringing him back to cover Romelu Lukaku’s injury, a suggestion not reflected in any club announcement.
• Russo traveled with a 30-man squad, adjusted roles and shape, and may stick with the same lineup against Banfield pending updates on Paredes’ thigh and Alarcón’s knee.
