Boca Juniors
Platense
Boca Juniors and Platense played out a frustrating goalless draw at La Bombonera, with both sides failing to break down resolute defensive displays. The match was most eventful in the first half, where disciplinary issues saw Lautaro Di Lollo and Leonardo Heredia both booked for fouls before the break. Boca dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances against a well-organized Platense defense, leading to wholesale changes in the second half as both managers sought fresh impetus. The stalemate leaves Boca in mid-table mediocrity while Platense will be pleased with a hard-earned point away from home.
