In the 34th minute of the first half, Boca Juniors went 2-1 up against Olimpia of Paraguay in a pre-season friendly played at the Unico de San Nicolas stadium. The play originated from a loss by the Paraguayan team in attack, which Boca took advantage of with speed to launch a counterattack. Exequiel "El Changuito" Zeballos took the ball in midfield, held off his marker with his body, and won the physical duel against his rival before heading decisively towards the area, according to Noticias Argentinas agency. With a feint, the forward unsettled the defender and, already near the edge of the small area, took a precise, chipped cross with his left foot, getting past the goalkeeper and the retreating defense. On the far post, Tomas "Toto" Belmonte appeared, who entered the run unmarked to connect with a powerful and precise header, sending the ball to the back of the net and making it 2-1. After the goal, while Zeballos and Belmonte were celebrating with the fans, an altercation occurred between players from both teams.
