Boca has barely 15 points in the Professional League and has not won for almost a month, when they beat Barracas Central 3-0 as a visitor on March 31, with Mariano Herrón as interim manager replacing the fired Hugo Ibarra.
Then came defeats against Colón (2-1) at home, in Herrón’s last game, and then with Almirón losing against San Lorenzo (1-0) as a visitor, Estudiantes de La Plata (1-0) again at La Boca and an agonizing draw on the last date in Rosario, against Central (2-2) that ended the losing streak.
In between, Boca beat Deportivo Pereira (2-1) at La Bombonera for Group F of the Copa Libertadores, in Almirón’s only success after four games.
