Boca Juniors won a great win against Estudiantes in La Plata and confidently reaches next Sunday's Superclassic against River Plate at the stadium Monumental. Luis Advíncula scored the only goal of the match nine minutes into the match and Agustín Rossi was key in saving a penalty with the match tied, at the end of the first half.

The mood of the xeneize fans changed completely. Unlike what happened last Sunday, after the home defeat to Huracán, social networks erupted with very positive messages for the team of Sebastián Battaglia, who used some changes taking into account the fall in La Bombonera.

Frank Fabra, Cristian Medina, Aaron Molinas and Luis Vazquez returned to the first team. In addition, Pol Fernández stood in the unprecedented position of central midfielder. This allowed the flyers to unfold and have a great match, especially in the first half.

At this point, one of those who stood out and was much mentioned in the networks was Aaron Molinas, who in his hooking position stood out again. Especially in the goal, with a magnificent previous play that reminded the classic moves of Juan Román Riquelme.

Molinas took the ball and took over the xeneize attack. After hooking and threatening to connect a head-on change, he made a deep pass with great precision for Sebastián Villa, who reached the bottom, hooked and sent the cross so that Advíncula headed the goal.

In addition to the young 21-year-old midfielder, Guillermo Fernández and Agustín Rossi were the great figures of the match. “Apart from this distinction, the team demonstrated an important character on a difficult and complicated court. We had to play well, we were mindful of the last game, and today we proved it. We knew how to do our thing. Seba gave us a match in this way and we knew how to read it well”.

On the unprecedented position, Pol added: “We all have to be prepared. Today it touched me in a position where I had not been playing, but one does it day by day and it turned out luckily. I always look at Seba (Battaglia) and Mariano (Herrón) because they know the position. I tried to lean on them during the week. This is just beginning, we are very calm. I don't know if I'm going to keep playing there, I'm going to work to contribute my share. Whatever Seba raises, I will be available.”

For his part, Rossi analyzed the victory and also talked about the new penalty he saved, this time Leandro Díaz: “As always we look at the penalties of the referents. We knew that Tucu kicks many times hard and sometimes kicks to the side. I had decided to go to that place and I was lucky enough to save. I am happy for the penalty and for the group because we played a great match on a very difficult court.”

On the duel against River, he said: “Obviously it's a special and different match. We're going to go to River's court to win and play as equals.”
