Boca Juniors vs Universidad Católica

Universidad Católica pulled off a stunning away upset at La Bombonera, silencing the home faithful with a 1-0 win over Boca Juniors on the final matchday of Copa Libertadores Group D. It was a night to forget for the Xeneize. Clemente Montes did the damage in the 34th minute, latching onto a sharp Eugenio Mena assist to curl a right-footed finish past keeper Leandro Brey. Boca fought back and Ángel Romero looked to have leveled in the 85th — only for VAR to rule the effort marginally offside. Goalkeeper Vicente Bernedo further frustrated the hosts with vital stops in the 72nd and 88th minutes. The result is a body blow for Boca Juniors, eliminated from the Libertadores and dropped into a Copa Sudamericana playoff. For Universidad Católica, it caps a superb group stage: Group D winners with 13 points and a well-earned spot in the Round of 16.
