بوکا جونیورز مقابل بارسلونا

Boca Juniors put on a commanding display at La Bombonera, sweeping aside Barcelona SC 3-0 in the CONMEBOL Libertadores group stage. The hosts barely flinched even after losing goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín to a knee injury in just the 9th minute, a concern for the medical staff, but no distraction for the team. Lautaro Di Lollo opened the scoring with a well-taken header in the 39th minute. A Boca goal was disallowed around the hour mark, but the pressure told regardless: Santiago Ascacíbar made it 2-0 with a composed finish on 81'. Substitute Ander Herrera then sealed a ruthless evening with a late third in stoppage time (90+3'). The win sends Boca Juniors to the top of Group D with a perfect six points from two games, fine form ahead of the weekend Superclásico against River Plate. Barcelona SC, already beaten by Cruzeiro in their opener, sit rooted to the bottom without a point and with serious work to do.
