Boca Juniors Defeats Central Córdoba 3 to 1 with Alternative Lineup

Boca Juniors defeated Central Córdoba 3 to 1 at La Bombonera during the ninth round of the Torneo Clausura. Ángel Romero scored twice and Enner Valencia scored his first goal for the club to secure the victory. Central Córdoba's lone goal came late in the match from 21 year old youth player Martín Cuitiño. Manager Rodolfo Arruabarrena utilized a heavily rotated squad, making nine changes from the starting eleven used in a previous match against San Pablo. This strategy allowed for the first division debut of youth player Rodrigo Baciladupe. The match began with early dominance from Boca, including a first goal that followed a sequence of 21 passes. Valencia's goal also marked the first time an Ecuadorian player has scored for the club. Following the match, Arruabarrena praised the professionalism of Romero and the physical improvement of Valencia. He emphasized the importance of having reliable alternatives in the squad as the team prepares for a rematch against San Pablo in the Copa Sudamericana on Tuesday at the Morumbi. Boca currently sits in fifth place in Group A, while Central Córdoba remains in the penultimate position.
