Buenos Aires, January 29 (NA) – Estudiantes' victory over Boca on Wednesday night not only left room for discussion in sports, but also symbolically due to the presence of Santiago Ascacíbar. The 'Russian', whose move from the La Plata club to 'Xeneize' shook the market in recent hours, was in one of the boxes at UNO Stadium watching his new team face his former teammates, according to the Argentine News Agency. The midfielder spent the evening with Miguel Merentiel, and his reaction during the first goal of the match went viral. When central defender Núñez put 1-0 for the 'Pincha' before the 30-minute mark of the game from a set-piece, ESPN cameras captured an instinctive gesture from the midfielder: the footage shows how the now Boca player seemed to let out a goal scream for his ex-team's goal, evidencing that the sense of belonging to the La Plata club is still very much alive.
