Boca to Host Argentinos Juniors in Clausura Tournament Quarter-Final

Boca will host Argentinos Juniors in a Clausura Tournament quarter-final, a match between two of the top contenders for the title. The game, scheduled for 18:30 and covered by the Noticias Argentinas news agency, will take place at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, better known as 'La Bombonera', and can be watched on ESPN Premium and TNT Sports Premium. The referee will be Fernando Echenique, with Lucas Novelli in charge of VAR. Managed by Claudio Úbeda, Boca is in excellent form, having won their last five matches convincingly (3-1 vs Barracas Central, 2-1 vs Estudiantes de La Plata, 2-0 vs River, 2-0 vs Tigre, and 2-0 vs Talleres de Córdoba). This performance allowed the 'Xeneize' team to finish first in Zone A with 29 points, securing a spot in the next Copa Libertadores, as they were second in the annual table, just behind Rosario Central. In the playoff round of 16, Boca eliminated Talleres de Córdoba with a 2-0 win at 'La Bombonera'. However, they won't have an easy time this round, as Argentinos Juniors, one of the most consistent Argentine football teams in 2025, will be on the other side. Coached by Nicolás Diez, they finished fifth in Zone A with 25 points. In the playoffs, they started with a strong 2-0 victory over Vélez, thanks to a double from Hernán López Muñoz, one of their star players. Both teams, Boca for its current form and Argentinos Juniors for its consistency throughout the year, are top contenders to win the Clausura Tournament title. The winner of this match will face Racing or Tigre, who play on Monday at the 'Cilindro de Avellaneda'.
