Boca Juniors
Unión Santa Fe
Outstanding performance
Boca Juniors•AttackerBoca Juniors dominated from start to finish, racking up 25 shots and 69% possession against a Unión Santa Fe side that managed just four attempts all match. Lautaro Di Lollo's early opener set the tone, and while the game went quiet for long stretches in the second half, substitute Leonel Flores delivered the knockout blow with two goals in the final ten minutes. The scoreline reflects total control rather than a classic back-and-forth contest, with Boca's 5 big chances created dwarfing Unión's zero. For Boca this result cements their place in the title conversation, while Unión's toothless attacking output will raise concerns heading into their next fixtures.
