Ahead of next weekend’s superclásico, Rodolfo Arruabarrena opted to field an entirely reserve eleven for their Torneo de Verano clash with Racing in Mar del Plata and it is safe to assume that very few made a claim to be considered first choice. That said, after falling two behind early thanks to goals from Diego Milito and Marcos Acuña, Boca did find a way back into the game in the second half. Andrés Chávez scored twice to bring the match level but a couple of dubious penalties allowed Gustavo Bou to score a brace and give La Academia a first win under Facundo Sava.
