Zeballos's Goal in Controversial Play Gives Boca Win Over River

In the 46th minute of the first half, the main Argentine derby saw 'Boca Juniors' score a goal against 'River Plate'. Forward Ezequiel Zeballos put 'Boca' 1-0 up. The goal came from a controversial play where Boca's forward, Milton Giménez, appeared to use his arm to win a position against River's defender, Paulo Díaz, who then fell to the ground. River players protested the incident, claiming that referee Nicolás Ramírez should have awarded them a foul. However, the referee dismissed their claims. After the tussle, the ball reached Zeballos, who capitalized on a weak rebound from goalkeeper Franco Armani to calmly score into the empty net.
