After the dispossession of the match against Barracas Central, Patronato needed a vindication like this: they played very well in all lines and achieved a deserved, resounding and indisputable victory against Boca: 3 to 0.
El Colorado Facundo Sava, coach of the team from Entre Ríos who had said last week that he wanted to go home and not coach anymore, must have thought this time, in private, about how beautiful football can be when things They come out so round.
Patronato was solid at the back, pressed very well in three quarters of the pitch, was neat and patient in the middle, recovered from the setback caused by the injury of its two forwards and knew how to make the most of its possibilities.
Boca, for its part, showed its weakest side in a championship in which it never tied and has accumulated more losses than wins. Without Marcos Rojo (at the last moment due to muscular overload, Facundo Roncaglia had to be rushed back), without defensive order, without an approach to Facundo Altamirano’s goal in the entire first half, contributed to his rival’s brilliance.
In the first goal, Carlos Zambrano made a very ugly mistake in the calculation when he went to look for a ball in the area and in two touches Axel Rodríguez came face to face with Agustín Rossi and with the backhand of his left foot he put the ball between the legs of the goalkeeper and the sent to the net. On the second goal, another miscalculation, this time by Luis Advíncula, who missed the mark, allowed Alexander Sosa to head comfortably against the post. The third, the bonus for Patronato, was a free kick that Jonás Acevedo kicked, deflected into the barrier and dislodged Rossi.
Board of Trustees managed the times of the meeting. In the first half he made the difference in the game and in the result and in the second, when Boca improved a little with the changes, he was very firm to cushion any adverse situation. And in the only clear arrival from Boca, Altamirano’s body contributed its own. It was a deep tackle by Frank Fabra after a pass from Exequiel Zeballos. After a couple of hooks, the Colombian kicked in a hurry and the goalkeeper was there to extinguish the only flame of illusion that Boca lit with the game two to zero against.
A few days ago the entrerrianos put their hands in their pockets in a match against Barracas Central and that is why this victory is greeted and celebrated by everyone, except for the Boca world, which does not seem to know very well what trolley to take to continue, He came from beating Estudiantes with a convincing performance, which encouraged the idea of a football and mental recovery. Patronato brought him back to dark reality.
