Lucas Beltrán scored the 1-1 win for Colón against Boca Juniors | VIDEO

Boca Juniors won 1-0 in their debut in the 2022 Professional League Cup against Colón at La Bombonera. The ‘Xeneizes’ had the opportunity to lengthen the lead, but they missed it until the visiting team equalized in the final minutes.

At 86′, Facundo Farías launched a corner kick and ‘Flea’ Rodríguez showed off by providing an assist with the heel for Lucas Beltrán’s goal. The attacker, who wore the River Plate shirt, shouted his goal with all his heart to the surprise of the local fans.

It is important to mention that, on the next day, Boca will visit Aldosivi, while Colón will receive Godoy Cruz for the second day of the 2022 Argentine Professional League.

The ‘Xeneize’ seeks to start on the right foot in Group B of the contest, where he compares with Independiente, Huracán, Godoy Cruz, Arsenal, Barracas, Lanús, Vélez, Estudiantes, Colón, Central Córdoba, Rosario Central, Aldosivi and Tigre.

The main novelties in Boca are the returns of Guillermo ‘Pol’ Fernández and Darío Benedetto, along with the signing of Nicolas Figal, a former Independiente player who arrives from Inter Miami.

For his part, the ‘Sabalero’ has Julio César Falcioni on the bench, who at the end of 2021 left the ‘Rojo’ because the managers did not renew his contract and returned to the Santa Fe club that he directed from 2006 to 2007.
