Boca Juniors' reserve side defeated Atlético Tucumán 3‑0, with a double‑goal performance by Gonzalo Gelini and a strike from Tomás Márquez, to advance to the semifinals of the Torneo Proyección. The win sets up a reserve‑team Superclásico against River Plate, scheduled for Sunday 5 July at 15:00 on the Boca Predio field.

Boca players emphasized the match's importance, with Márquez remarking, “Esperándolos,” and Gelini noting the need to train at the highest level. The semifinal will decide which side progresses to the final to meet the winner of the Vélez‑Racing clash, with extra‑time and penalties planned if necessary.
