For the second date of the professional League, Boca drew 0-0 at La Bombonera against Central Córdoba with an outstanding performance by Oscar Romero and a penalty saved by Sergio Romero.
During the first half, the Ribera team showed marked dominance, with good plays generated by Oscar Romero and Sebastián Villa, the strongest points of those led by Hugo Ibarra. With possession in his favor, the Paraguayan midfielder missed the first one after 21 minutes after a great play by the Colombian, who overflowed and shot the center, leaving his teammate facing the goal.
However, Central Córdoba also caused danger in the rival area, and was close to scoring at 35′, when Chelo Benítez received the ball on the edge of the large area and after settling in, took a powerful shot. While the ball was closing, Sergio Romero intervened with a changed hand to divert it to the outside.
In the following minutes, Oscar Romero teamed up with Villa on two more occasions, but the Colombian could not define with precision and the teams went to halftime with a partial 0-0 score.
From the beginning of the complement, Leonardo Madelón’s managers showed another version and managed to generate danger. At 18′, Torres ran down the wing, took the mark and played first for Facundo Castelli, who dribbled on the edge of the area and was brought down by Romero. The forward took the ball from eleven steps, but “Chiquito” guessed the direction of the shot, jumped to the left post and covered the penalty.
The game continued with the insistence of Central Córdoba through Castelli, who took charge of the attack for the visiting team. Not much else happened in the second half, which ended with a round trip between both teams trying to win the final minutes. With the final 0-0, Boca reached four points, while those from Santiago de Estero added their first unit.
