اونیون مقابل بوکا جونیورز

Boca Juniors clawed back a 1-1 draw against Unión de Santa Fe at the Estadio 15 de Abril on matchday 11 of the Apertura. Miguel Merentiel's predatory instincts ensured the Xeneize stretched their unbeaten run to six games. Unión took a deserved lead three minutes before the break. Julián Palacios picked up the ball near the penalty spot and curled a precise right-footed finish into the net (42'). The equaliser arrived with a touch of the spectacular in the 56th minute. Adam Bareiro launched an audacious bicycle kick that crashed off the post, and Merentiel was sharpest to the rebound, firing home with a powerful right-footed strike. The draw leaves Boca sixth in Zone A on 14 points, three draws in their last four is hardly playoff-winning form. Unión, meanwhile, remain comfortably in the top two and will be the happier side after holding firm against one of Argentine football's biggest names.
