33-R. Rey (6,5): The goalkeeper, who made his debut at Independiente, had little activity in the first half. In the ST he kept a shot from Orsini.
19-L. Gómez (6): In his first minutes at the club, the full-back had the difficult task of marking Sebastián Villa: he controlled him well and even dared to go on the attack. He lowered his performance in the second half and was replaced by Patricio Ostachuk.
24-S. Barrett (4.5): Sign on the mark, both above and below. He controlled Nicolás Orsini well. He had a good header to prevent 27 from making it 0-1. He was sent off for a double yellow card: the first for grabbing Fabra and the second for kicking Villa.
3-E. Elizabeth (5): The Uruguayan was attentive to cover Costa’s back. He saw the yellow for a hard tackle on Orsini.
79-A. Coast (5): He returned to Red after his loan at Platense and did so as a winger. He passed very frequently, although he was not precise in the centers.
Rossi’s great save
5-A. Mullet (5,5): He shared half of the field with Iván Marcone in his debut at the club and managed to complement. He was booked when he went down to Villa. He came out in the end instead of Lopez.
23-I. Marcone (7): It was his first game as the new captain of Independiente and he was the commanding voice on the field. He gave a good pass to Chila Márquez in the clearest chance of the PT. He was reprimanded for protesting.

14-L. Gonzalez (5): He started lying down on the right side, but moved freely to look for spaces behind the Boca midfielders.
11-J. Khazars (4.5): Despite his offensive role, Juanito was key in the first stage, closely following Alan Varela to cut the Xeneize game circuit. He did not weigh in the second stage and was replaced by Joaquín Laso after the red card for Barreto.
20-R. Marquez (7.5): He was the most decisive footballer in Rojo’s offense in the PT: he had three situations to open the scoring but he was not fine. Two of his shots went wide and another was cleared by Agustín Rossi. He left through Chaco Martínez.
The fight between the fans of Boca and Independiente.
34-M. Gimenez (6.5): The jump in category and his debut in Independiente did not weigh on him. Far from being the typical area striker, the former San Martín de San Juan was quick and gave a good pass to Márquez that almost ended in 1-0. He came out in the plugin for a nuisance.

Leandro Stillitano (6): His team showed good intentions in the first half, while the intensity dropped in the ST. He put in several rookies and was satisfied with the 0-0.
9-M. Cauteruccio (5): It was difficult for him to get into rhythm in a Red with ten players.
29-B. Martinez (5): He played a few minutes and did not weigh.
2-J. Laso (5): He entered Barreto after the red.
4-P. Ostachuk (-): The youth played on the side, his new position with Stillitano.
8-K. Lopez (-): It added a few minutes in its premiere in the Red.
