Two weeks later, the match resumed and Boca lost 2-1 against Racing. Before this, the “Xeneize” was winning 1-0.

Up to the moment the match was suspended because of the rain in the 56th minute, Boca was winning 1-0 against Racing. However, in the last 34 minutes, Boca’s performance was disastrous.

The defense made three mistakes and Racing scored two goals, by Gustavo Bou. Firstly, the forward, who was assisted by Diego Milito, executed a good shot; secondly, he headed from inside the penalty area to the right of the goal.

When facing this disadvantage, the local team collapsed and did not react. They abused long passes nowhere, without clear ideas. Andrés Chávez had the only straight-forward chance for Boca, though the ball ended up near the left post.

This was the first defeat since Arruabarrena’s arrival as coach. “We have to change the image immediately”, analyzed “El Vasco”. The next match will be on Sunday at 6:15 p.m. against Quilmes, for the nineth match in the Torneo de Transición.
