In an emotional outcome, Boca arrived at the last day of the regular stage demanding, with the obligation to win to move forward, and the certainty that a draw or a defeat would marginalize it from the decisive stages.

In their stronghold of La Bombonera, Xeneize had the support of thousands of fans who pushed them to victory, despite playing for an hour with one less player due to the expulsion of Cristian Medina (31) for a double warning.

However, Boca managed to react well to the adversity and shortly after found the goal that gave them classification, after a projection from the right by the Peruvian Luis Advíncula, who sent a great cross assist for the arrival of the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani (49) , who entered behind the Mendoza defense and scored first, with a crossed left foot.
