Fernando Gago's drastic decision regarding Boca's squad after the defeat in the Superclásico was revealed.

Fernando Gago was the clear protagonist of Sunday's Superclásico , where Boca fell 2-1 to River Plate and showed themselves to be an unrecognizable team, with an initial approach more focused on holding on than on proposing, a far cry from the style of play that positioned them as the absolute leader of Zone A.

The truth is that Xeneize suffered a defeat that will weigh on them from now on and all eyes are now on the duel against Tigre next weekend, which will close the regular phase of the 2025 Apertura Tournament .

After the defeat, Fernando Gago decided to begin planning by giving the players a day off on the Monday following the defeat against River, as reported by José Amadeo on DSports .

Thus, the squad will reconvene on Tuesday to turn the page on this bad experience and turn things around next weekend when Boca Juniors will return to the fray against Tigre in Victoria, hoping to secure first place in their group and absolute leadership in the Annual Standings, with the hope of achieving a strong run in the playoffs that will allow them to end their title drought.

River Plate won the Superclásico by beating a lackluster Boca Juniors 2-1 , and once the match was over, the Millonario players celebrated with a spicy dedication to their arch-rivals.

"A minute of silence for Boca, which is dead" was the chant of the River Plate players in the middle of the field, while they watched the fans who accompanied them from the stands and who saw the goals scored by Franco Mastantuono from a free kick and Sebastián Driussi , while the partial tie was scored by Miguel Merentiel after a distraction by Germán Pezzella.
