Very near the glory
In spite of Sunday’s defeat by 1-0 against Belgrano our team keeps its chances intact to be come the first triple champion of the club’s history. Boca has a three-point edge on Estudiantes when there is only one round to go to the end of the Apertura tournament. Just a draw will make the team a champion, no matter what happens to the La Plata team.
This Boca of all the records, numbers and achievements is only 90 minutes away from an exciting watershed. In the worst of cases, should the bi-champion lose and Estudiantes should beat Arsenal, a decisive tie-break would have to be fought out for the first time since the short tournaments are being played.
Moreover, with one more victory Ricardo La Volpe’s team would attain a total of 47 points and thus match San Lorenzo’s record when the latter team won the 2001 Clausura tournament.
This Monday the team enjoyed a day of rest and will resume training on Tuesday afternoon, with its spirit unblemished in a week which will, surely, lift it up once more to the peak of glory.
