It was a weak match from the team led by Mariano Herrón, which had some good moments in the first half, but barely shot at the goal defended by Nahuel Losada. The goalkeeper, however, had a great save from a shot from outside by Belmonte that had rebounded, close to the end of the 90'.
The Granate of Mauricio Pellegrino was solid in defense, with a very good match from the former Xeneize Carlos Izquierdoz, and had some counted counterattack chances, or due to some loss in Boca's midfield, but was also not fine in attack.
With a heated Bombonera and at times manifest discontent with the team, Boca closed a disappointing zero to zero to go to the penalties that ended up putting them in the quarterfinals, where they await the winner of the clash between Independiente and Independiente Rivadavia.
