It wasn’t a great Boca performance but with the three points gained Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side leapfrog San Lorenzo to the summit of the Primera and on Monday the club will officially unveil new signing Carlos Tévez. Needless to say, the atmosphere at Boca is in stark contrast to the mood in the weeks after their Copa Libertadores expulsion. Sarmiento felt aggrieved at full-time having seen a late penalty appeal waved away and a first-half goal ruled out, correctly but marginally, for offside. Ultimately the match was decided after 28 minutes when Pablo Pérez thread a superb through-ball into the path of Sebastián Palacios and he slotted the ball past César Rigamonti. With the arrival of Tévez, Boca would probably now be slight favourites for the title even at this early stage. This was not a performance to strike fear into their opponents but psychologically they are now the team to surpass for the other challengers and will soon be incorporating the best striker in the league into their side.
