Deportivo Riestra beats Boca Juniors 3‑0 in Torneo Clausura debut
Deportivo Riestra defeated Boca Juniors 3‑0 on the opening day of the 2026 Torneo Clausura. The match was played at the Estadio Guillermo Laza in Buenos Aires, marking Boca's first ever visit to the ground. Braian Sánchez opened the scoring in the first minutes, followed by Antony Alonso before the break, and Alexander Díaz added the third goal just before halftime. Boca, fielding a rotated side and resting captain Marcos Rojo, could not respond despite dominating possession in the second half. The defeat left Boca in fifth place with 30 points, while Riestra remained 28th with 14 points. Coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena described the performance as a “cemetery” in the dressing‑room and warned of needed changes ahead of upcoming fixtures, including a Copa Sudamericana tie against O’Higgins.
