With 19 points in their last 10 matches Boca Juniors should be reasonably happy with their performance, while defensa y Justicia is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Patronato. Adonis Frías struck first for Defensa y Justicia in the 55th minute on a penalty kick, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Patronato was frustrated by Defensa y Justicia’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Defensa y Justicia ended the match with the shutout victory. Defensa y Justicia should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Boca Juniors won the head to head battle with 1 win.
