Boca Juniors have put two defeats behind them in the domestic tournament and in the third game of their new DT Jorge Almirón scored a long-running 2-1 victory against Deportivo Pereira in the Copa Libertadores 2023 last Tuesday.
Xeneize reacted in time and changed the insults that rained down from the stands of La Bombonere when they found themselves in a disadvantageous position in the 76th minute with a goal by Jimer Fory. But thanks to a great goal from Luis Advíncula (88) and a header from Alan Varela (90+9) he was able to transform what looked like another nightmare.
The level shown by those from Buenos Aires provoked criticism in the albiceleste press, and even one communicator made a humiliating comment about the current Colombian champion.
“Boca Juniors, in front of this totally humble, I don’t know if it’s Colombian, Venezuelan, Ecuadorian, Honduran, Bolivian, I have no idea where this Pereira team is from, amateur,” said journalist Pablo Carrozza on his YouTube channel.
“Despite that and everything, Conmebol boosters put their hand in Pereira’s pocket. Do you know when? Disallowing a goal when the field was collapsing, disallowing that goal because of a foul that they had to review, review and review,” he added.
With the defeat, Pereira placed himself in the third box of Group F with one point, the same number as Monagas, his next opponent. Boca Juniors and Colo-Colo are the leaders with four units. (D)
