Overview
- Boca honored its idol with a framed No. 10 presented by Marcelo “Chelo” Delgado as a packed Bombonera delivered a loud ovation and unfurled a banner in his image.
- Boca advanced with a 2-0 victory in the Torneo Clausura round of 16, with Miguel Merentiel scoring both goals, ending Talleres’ 2025 campaign.
- Talleres missed a first-half penalty and again lacked finishing touch, a season-long problem noted by Carlos Tevez and defender Matías Catalán.
- Tevez expressed pride in his players, said the team struggled in both boxes, and outlined plans to reshape the squad after arriving mid-season and securing safety from relegation.
- Talleres president Andrés Fassi signaled continued support even with Tevez’s deal running to June, as reports describe a fractured tie with Juan Román Riquelme that complicates any near-term Boca return.
