Former Boca Keeper Blasts Marchesín for Conceded Goal

Former Boca Juniors goalkeeper Carlos Fernando Navarro Montoya commented on Agustín Marchesín's performance after the team from La Ribera was eliminated from the Clausura tournament in the semifinals against Racing, stating that the goal-scoring play was "a given." Navarro Montoya held the goalkeeper responsible for the goal scored by Adrián "Maravilla" Martínez, arguing that the defensive situation offered clear options for better positioning. According to the former goalkeeper, Marchesín "had more to do" before Racing's forward took the shot, explaining: "Agustín failed to see who was making the run, because the play was a given." "It was an exquisite pass from (Agustín) Almendra to (Gabriel) Rojas, and when Rojas looked up, there was only one player who could receive the ball. When the ball goes wide, the keeper has to watch who is coming in to score on you. If he sees it, if he reads the play, it's a ball to play out," he detailed, marking errors in positioning and attention. Navarro Montoya went even further: "For me, he's too far off his line. He's not watching who is coming in, and that's ABC for a goalkeeper."
