Palermo asked to come off the field and Pica came on as a substitute.

Riquelme was also arranged to take a rest, and Chavez came on as a substitute in the right midfielder.

Long Yu shouted again: "I'm tired too and want to end it!"

Basile: "You stay on the court!"

Long Yu: "I won't do it if I don't give in. What are you yelling about?"

After Riquelme came off the field, Boca's midfield changed slightly.

Naicker and Chavez were on the left and right, and Songsu and Chang Ming were in front and behind.

With a three-goal lead, Boca played much more freely.

In the following period, Boca still had an obvious advantage, but did not score another goal.

3-0 is also the final score.

With the win over Sporting Italia, Boca finally got their first win in the Copa Libertadores this season.

Not easy.

Among the four teams in this group, except for Sporting Italia, the strength of the other three teams is not very different.

In the first round, Boca drew with Colo-Colo 3-3 and Santos beat Sporting Italia 4-0.

In this round, Boca beat Sporting Italia 3-0, while Santos was tied 2-2 by Colo-Colo.

Currently, Boca and Santos both have one win and one draw, and are tied for the top spot with 4 points.

Colo-Colo has two draws and ranks third with 2 points.

Sporting Italia scored a net of 7 goals in two games and there is no hope of qualifying.

The match between Boca and Santos in more than half a month will be the battle for the top spot in this group.

But that game is still far away, and what lies before us is still the A-League.

After winning three consecutive victories, Boca still leads the way.

Their goal this season is still to defend the title.

The desire to win remains unchanged.

Four days later, on February 27, Boca ushered in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League.

Away game against Atletico Tucuman.

Although this opponent is not strong, this game is still difficult to win.

This is the third game in eight days, and the players' physical fitness is extremely exhausted.

Even with frequent rotations, it is impossible to be physically full in this game.

Moreover, this is still an away game, and we have to take into account the fatigue of traveling and traveling.

So today, Basile still took the players' physical fitness into consideration and made a large rotation.

Riquelme and Palermo, who participated in the midweek match, naturally cannot play again.

If the two veterans are forced to play, it will put a lot of pressure on their bodies.

For consecutive seasons, the gains outweigh the losses.

So the two captains did not appear.

Long Yu, who played the full 90 minutes in the last game, also sat on the bench.

The same goes for Songsu, who is a substitute today.

Today, Boca relies most heavily on Chang Ming.

He is surrounded by Collazo, Chavez and Trimos, and Pica and Mush are on the front line.

The young midfielder and frontcourt combination put a lot of pressure on this game.

Especially Chang Ming.

Three games in eight days is unique for Chang Ming.

No matter in the new team or in the previous Barcelona echelons.

So the overall condition of the players today is not particularly good.

In this game, Basile arranged for Collazo and Chavez to play on both sides.

In the season before several Boca Juniors players were promoted to the first team, these two were the main full midfielders.

Now that we are reunited, we naturally expect to perform well.

But because of this, Boca's offense was very monotonous.

The two frequently used their personal skills to achieve breakthroughs, but somewhat neglected their cooperation.

The game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, and there is heavy thunder and light rain in Boca.

Although he kept pressing forward, he never had a particularly good chance to score.

The same goes for Pica and Mush on the front line.

Both are looking forward to performing well and becoming Palermo's number one substitute.

You must know that Palermo will retire this season, and this is the time to compete for the main position.

But both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Mush is well-rounded and mediocre across the board.

Pika's header is good, but his feet are bad.

Such a combination is very troublesome.

Fortunately, Atlético Tucumán is not strong and Boca can still deal with it.

If it were an opponent like River Plate, they would probably have conceded the goal by now.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Boca finally scored.

Chang Ming cruised to the right and took the initiative to cross and change positions with Chavez.

Suddenly dribbling the ball forward along the wing!

Atletico Tucumán’s defense is in disarray!

Chang Ming's playing style is completely different from Chavez!

Their defensive feel has also changed!

While they were still adapting, Chang Ming had already rushed to the level of the penalty area line!

Cross the ball!

The ball goes straight to the center of the penalty area!

Looking for a pickup!

Pika jumps high!

He didn't even move much!

Chang Ming's passing is so accurate!

Header!

The ball hit the upper right corner of the net hard!

1 to 0!

Boca finally opened the scoring!

Scored a goal, which made the Boca players feel a little calmer.

With a one-goal lead, Boca changed sides in the second half and fought again.

Atletico Tucumán stepped up their attack and wanted to equalize as soon as possible.

But it was counterproductive.

In the 62nd minute of the score, Chang Ming once again sent a precise through ball!

Mush's smart forward thrust!

Offside counter was successful!

On the penalty area line, push into the far corner of the goal!

The ball went in!

2 to 0!

Boca expanded its lead!

As soon as this goal was scored, Boca was completely at ease!
