Overview
- Boca led twice through Alan Velasco and Kevin Zenón but conceded an equalizer by Esteban Fernández in the 93rd minute to finish 2-2 at Estadio Víctor Legrotaglie.
- Ignacio Sabatini also found the net earlier in the second half but that goal was reviewed and annulled for offside by VAR, a decision broadcasters and local reports said relied on limited camera angles and left room for doubt.
- The draw keeps Gimnasia de Mendoza atop Zone A with 16 points while Boca sits on 11 points and the result tightens qualifying permutations across the group.
- Boca fielded a rotated lineup ahead of its Copa Sudamericana home tie with São Paulo, and coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena said the team 'lost two important points' after the late concession.
- Coverage highlights two short-term consequences to watch: Boca’s squad choices for the midweek continental match and how the narrow Zone A standings change the path to qualification in the closing stages of the Clausura.
