Cavani’s rebuke to Advíncula in Boca Juniors vs Nacional. (Sports Center)
From rivals to partners. Weeks ago, the signing of Edinson Cavani to Boca Juniors was confirmed, in this way, the new partner in attack of Luis Advíncula was made official. Both players, who faced each other on several occasions at the national team level, one defending Peru and the other Uruguay, starred in scenes during the ‘xeneize’ qualification to the quarterfinals of Copa Libertadores 2023.
The ‘Matador’ made his debut at the ‘blue and gold’ club yesterday, Wednesday, August 9, against Nacional for the round of 16 of the international competition and the ‘Rayo’ accompanied him on the La Bombonera field. The first was located as a center forward, while the second, as is customary, served as winger in the line of five.
The first ‘pearl’ left by the two members of Jorge Almirón’s team came from a corner kick. Cavani went down to defend the corner and stood very close to the near post of his goal, however, he realized that his teammates were not concentrating on the play. For this reason, he began to attract their attention.

The striker put all his experience at the disposal of the Argentine team to handle the situation. For example, he raised his hands to his head, making the gesture of thinking. Later, when Advíncula was preparing to go to his position, he took the opportunity to tell him a couple of things in order to calm him down. “Enough, think!”
From the hot moment to the emotion. Minutes later, the member of the Peruvian team was sent with a great goal that caused various reactions from the international press. The popular ‘Bolt’ was spherical inside the area and defined with his less skilled leg, the left, placing the round one among a sea of legs. That was 2-1 in favor of the locals.
‘Lucho’ shot out to celebrate very close to the stands, followed by his teammates, who were infected with his immense emotion. The last to embrace the ‘Inca’ was Edinson, who held his new partner for several seconds, leaving a postcard to remember. A photo that represents the good atmosphere in the La Ribera club.

The fans went to La Bombonera to see Edinson Cavani’s first game, but they ended up fantasizing about Luis Advíncula’s performance. The Uruguayan had a clear chance to register his first goal with the Argentines, but he lacked accuracy. Something that the Peruvian did not miss out on during the commitment to the ‘purse’.
At 12 minutes, the ‘Inca’ was projected by his band, raised his head and took a cross, which can easily be considered an air pass, for striker Miguel Merentiel to score with a header and open the scoring in the key.
Later, at 47′, the Uruguayans had just settled on the field after the break and ‘Bolt’ surprised everyone. The national player, after the association Valentín Barco and Frank Fabra, found the round and defined with his left foot. His two goals allowed Boca to define everything on penalties, where he obtained a pass to the quarterfinals.

Luis Advíncula’s season in terms of numbers is already the best of his career, surpassing the six goals he scored while at Sporting Cristal in 2009. So far, the 33-year-old has three goals and four assists. All of his goals were in the Copa Libertadores and this makes him Boca’s top scorer in this international campaign. Good moment for the Peruvian that could be reflected in the debut of the Qualifiers.
