Deportivo Riestra opened the 2026 Torneo Clausura with a 3‑0 victory over Boca Juniors at Estadio Guillermo Laza, scoring through Braian Sánchez (6'), Antony Alonso (22') and Alexander Díaz (37'). It was Boca’s first ever visit to the Guillermo Laza stadium, and the Argentine giants rested captain Marcos Rojo and several regulars, fielding a rotated side to preserve them for upcoming Copa Sudamericana matches under coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena. Riestra, coached by Guillermo Duró, capitalised on set pieces and quick counter‑attacks. The win lifted the club to 28th place with 14 points, while Boca remained fifth with 30 points. ~~The match was broadcast on ESPN Premium and refereed by Hernán Mastrángelo, underscoring~~ After the ~~high‑profile nature of~~ match, Boca coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena described the ~~encounter.~~ defeat as a “cemetery” in the dressing‑room and warned that changes were needed before their Copa Sudamericana tie against O’Higgins. Riestra entered the Clausura near the bottom of the Argentine Primera División, just two points above the direct‑relegation zone after a poor Apertura campaign. The early uplift offers a brief respite, but the club must sustain strong performances to avoid a drop to a lower division.
