The women's team of Newell's Old Boys achieved a historic victory of 1-0 over Boca Juniors in the first round of the new Argentine championship, held at Casa Amarilla. The decisive goal was scored by Daiana Falfán in the last minutes of the match, breaking Boca's unbeaten streak at home that had lasted for five years since women's football was professionalized in Argentina.
With this surprising victory, Newell's adds three important points and positions itself as a team to watch in the tournament. The team coached by Leandro "Toti" Iglesias came with significant reinforcements and managed to pull off the surprise against the most successful club in Argentine women's football.
The next challenge for the "Leprosas" will be to face Huracán in Rosario, seeking to maintain the same intensity that allowed them to defeat Boca in a historic match. The addition of Roxana Larroquette, the top scorer of the national team, generated great expectations, and although she did not score in this match, she was an important piece in the team's offense.
Daiana Falfán, the author of the winning goal, once again demonstrated her ability in decisive moments and secured a victory that will go down in the history of Argentine women's football. This result is particularly noteworthy considering Boca Juniors' dominance at home, where they had achieved 58 victories in 65 matches played before this unexpected defeat against Newell's.
