Boca next face Group C favourites Bayern Munich, who thrashed Auckland City 10-0 in their opener, and the race to finish second behind the German champions could come down to goal difference. While Boca were competitive and showed they deserve to share the stage with a strong side like Benfica coach Miguel Angel Russo believes there is still a gap between South American and European teams. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT: Thousands of hardcore Boca Juniors fans are bringing extreme passion to the tournament and should the team exit before the knockout stages it would deal a heavy blow to the atmosphere at the event. On Monday, Boca Juniors fans turned the Hard Rock Stadium into a sea of blue and gold. KEY QUOTES: Boca Juniors captain Miguel Merentiel: "It's a strange feeling, to be honest. It leaves a bit of a bitter taste, and now it's about moving forward. Now, we'll focus on believing in ourselves, in our own tools, and we'll come out in the next match to give our best." Boca Juniors coach Russo: "Benfica suffered at times ... because Boca played a game they weren't expecting. "I think, at least for us Argentines, the gap is still very big with European teams. Maybe someday it'll close but not yet. We have to keep working, fighting, looking for ways." Benfica coach Bruno Lage: "We started the game well, we were the better team but we conceded two goals and it's difficult to accept. "Our first goal was important, then we made more runs into the box and we could have won the game." REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Boca extend Group A lead with 2-0 home win over Estudiantes
BUENOS AIRES, April 19 (Reuters) - Boca Juniors' Carlos Palacios and Miguel Merentiel scored second-half goals to secure a 2-0 home win over Estudiantes on Saturday in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura tournament. Already assured of a last-16 spot, the hosts strengthened their grip on Group A's top spot as they moved to 32 points, five clear of second-placed Huracan. Estudiantes are sixth with 20 points. The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here. Palacios opened the scoring three minutes into the second half, firing a first-time shot from a well-placed pass from Merentiel, who turned scorer himself to double the lead in the 63rd minute with a great long-range effort. Estudiantes had looked more threatening in the opening stages, but Boca goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin kept them at bay early on, denying Guido Carrillo an opener with a brilliant save. Edinson Cavani squandered a golden chance to hand Boca a halftime lead after his poorly taken penalty was saved by Estudiantes keeper Mansilla in the 40th minute.
