Overview
- Boca’s 1-1 draw at La Bombonera on August 9 stretched its official winless streak to 12 matches, marking the worst run in club history.
- President Juan Román Riquelme dissolved the Consejo de Fútbol earlier this week, triggering the exits of Mauricio Serna and Raúl Cascini as part of an internal overhaul.
- With Edinson Cavani unavailable, Leandro Paredes assumed the captain’s armband and Milton Giménez rescued a late equalizer after Santiago Solari’s 75th-minute opener for Racing.
- Following elimination from the Copa Argentina and with no international engagements, Boca now relies solely on league performance in the Torneo Clausura to secure a spot in next year’s Copa Libertadores.
- Racing, coping with one win and two losses in the Clausura, balanced its league challenges by reaching the Copa Argentina quarterfinals and shifts focus to its upcoming Copa Libertadores tie with Peñarol.
