Overview

• Boca defeated Independiente Rivadavia 3-0 in Mendoza, halting a 12-match stretch without a win.
• Cavani's slump persisted — he botched a close-range chance when the ball slid under his boot and has three goals in 18 matches this year.
• Substituted in the second half, he questioned assistant Claudio Úbeda about the decision on his way to the bench.
• Leaving the field, he exchanged heated gestures with home supporters, including the 'pala' sign telling them to go to work and a 'tómensela' motion.
• He later posted “Gran esfuerzo. A seguir y a seguir” on Instagram, as a Bacoli mayor urged Napoli to consider him as cover for injured Romelu Lukaku, though his representative cites a deal through December 2026 and a stance of staying unless Boca leadership asks otherwise.
