The great crossing of Luis Advíncula to save Boca against Deportivo Cali | VIDEO

The first half of Boca Juniors vs. Deportivo Cali, for date 1 of Group E of the Copa Libertadores, finished goalless, but the Colombian team could well go into the break with the advantage. One of those responsible for avoiding this was Luis Advíncula, who had a very opportune cross and avoided the 1-0.

At minute 14 of the first half, Agustín Rossi fumbled the ball in his attempt to reject it and it was served to striker Yony González, who just when he had settled down to finish off, Advíncula appeared after a tremendous effort and blocked the shot. After that, Carlos Zambrano also arrived and also resisted.

It was a very clear scoring move by Deportivo Cali, which beyond its irregular presence in the Colombian league, is facing ‘Xeneize’, who made his debut in the international competition after drawing 2-2 with Arsenal in his recent presentation in the Cup of the Professional League of Argentina.
