On Tuesday, Boca suffered a 1-0 defeat against Alianza Lima from Peru in the first leg of the second phase of the Copa Libertadores playoff. As a result, the Argentine team exploded against Exequiel Zeballos for what they considered a lack of intensity in his play.

With the adverse score and increasing tension during the match, the situation led "Pintita," visibly upset, to confront the winger about his attitude. At one point in the match, "Pintita" was clearly heard expressing his frustration: "Start running because I’ll throw you out!" in light of Alianza Lima's superiority, coached by Néstor Gorosito.

Boca's team now faces the challenge of overturning this result in the next match to be held at their stadium. Their goal is to overcome the defeat to advance to the third phase of the preliminary matches of the Copa Libertadores.
