Arsenal have been one of the worst teams in the league this season, but can they pull the upset against an inconsistent Boca Juniors side at home?
How's it going and how do you feel about the game we're about to see?
Let's get to the starting lineups beginning with the home team. The coach is Federico Villar
making his second game as the manager. Cristian Medina, Alan Varela, Sebastian Villa
and what we said Benedetto Merentiel the two center forwards for El Cheneise.
And we're underway here in Serandí. Both teams in their alternate kits.
Arsenal in the red, Boca in those really sharp white and navy blue. And you see right now
at this stage in the 23rd minute, 24th minute of play. The entire stadium chanting Jacuzzi's name
as a tribute to him. Soto gets through. What was Fabra doing on that one? Yeah heartfelt moment
for the player who wore number 24. That's a nice play from Soto going past you.
Outswinger, top of the 18, off the crossbar, goal!
There's Arsenal take the lead. It was like there were 10
in the round and nothing could be done. Completely onside. Everyone watches, Varela especially.
And Joaquin Pombo just sticks a leg out to make it 1-0. Tremendous reaction from Pombo.
Of course as Juan just said it's a completely legal goal. Varela
caught looking, caught flat-footed. We'll see what his injury is. Soto
cleared away by Weigand. The shot that ends up being redirected and almost.
Still 1-0. Arsenal doing their job, doing a good job at it too. As again that should be a yellow
card on Bruno Valdez. As he, I don't know where he, not a shabby angle may I add. Looking to go
towards goal. Going through and I think Romero got a piece of it. No, he just skips off the top
of the crossbar at one point. That's why. Fabra, Villa. Back inside to Cristian Medina. Now Boca
looking to carburete a little bit more. The shot from outside the save by Alejandro Medina. And
just like that they had a little bit of rhythm. Valentini keeping that ball in play for Boca.
Varela back out wide to Abincula. Poor ball by the Peruvian. Not the first time I've said that
tonight. Guys are failing me. No, no. Well, I don't know if we'll get to see it but this was
the best play for Boca of course in the entire game. A very quick one-two between Merentiel and
Benedetto. This was I think what Almiron must have imagined when he put these two together.
Very good play. And it's always him trying to find the space instead of the space
kind of being designed for him to be already in in the first place to receive. Villa charging
forward. Villa looking to take the shot from outside but it ends up being quite a soft
pass to Alejandro Medina. Villa goes to ground. Very interesting topic to delve into as well.
The Sebastian Villa saga that supposedly should be ending in the next few hours.
There's a foul being called on Chelo Wigan. Oh, you see right here. VAR. He's looking for Wigan.
He's gone. Yeah, he's going back pocket. He's gone. You see the red card coming out. Wigan's gone.
Maybe this is the way to equalize. Maybe this is the path we shall see. Villa
missing by very little. Never even had a chance. That ball did not come down. Did not come down
enough. Eki Fernandez. Eki as he's pushed from behind and another chance from a very similar
angle for Sebastian Villa. It'll be a yellow card. That'll be the first of the match for Arsenal.
It'll be Villa this time looking to add more dip to it, but a very similar result. Another ball
that goes through. Chiquito Romero had to take that dive. 86 minute of play. The big one more
chance and that won't come as Arsenal have won for the first time since November of 2013
against the Chinese. A big, big win.
