How was the match between Castaño, Quintero and Borja in Boca vs River

Boca Juniors and River Plate In the Argentine soccer Superclásico they faced each other on the 15th of Closing Tournament 2025, in the match held in La Bombonera The only Colombian who acted as a starter was Kevin Castaño. The Xeneizes won 2-0 after goals from Zeballos and Merentiel.

River was the only one that had Colombians in its squad for this Superclásico, because although Frank Fabra is part of Boca Juniors, he was not even taken into account to be on the substitutes’ bench.

How River’s Colombians fared against Boca

Kevin Castano: He had a good first half, won a couple of individual duels and delivered the ball well, he even gave a pass to Maxi Salas that turned into a dangerous attack on the Boca area. Castaño was even seen going down the right wing and sent a cross that was rejected by the Xeneizes defenders. The Colombian also tried to score when the game was scoreless, he received a ball close to the crescent and finished, however, his shot was without much power and Marchesín was able to stop it without much problem. The second half, like that of all of River, was bad, he did not look orderly and in the removal of the ball he almost did not contribute, so much so that he was replaced in the 59th minute by Galoppo.

Juan Fernando Quintero: He entered as soon as the second half began, replacing Lautaro Rivero. JuanFer had the misfortune that as soon as he entered Boca’s second goal came and from then on the superiority of the Xeneize team became stronger. Quintero could do little or nothing with the ball, River after being down on the scoreboard was not on the court, he looked disorganized and anxious, so he could not gain possession of the ball. JuanFer was only seen with a poisonous center from the left that Marchesín rejected with a punch.

Miguel Angel Borja: He came on in the 59th minute instead of Dirussi, did little in the game and was even almost sent off for a tackle on Ayrton Costa in the Boca area.
