Late Header Secures Boca Juniors' Victory Amidst Challenges

Lautaro Di Lollo's late header clinched a 1-0 victory for Boca Juniors against Banfield in Argentina's Primera Division. Despite being reduced to 10 men near the end, Boca secured vital points under coach Fernando Gago, marking his first away win in the tournament.

The match saw Banfield start strong, with Gonzalo Rios nearly scoring early. However, Boca's defense held firm. In the second half, on a rain-dampened pitch, Banfield's hopes were dashed as Boca's Lollo scored from a Carlos Palacios corner.

Boca faces Alianza Lima next in the Copa Libertadores. Meanwhile, reflecting on the match, Boca's goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin praised the team's resilience and adaptability despite missing key players.
