SCORE GRAPHIC/ PAREDES STORY: Milton Gimenez scored twice as Boca Juniors staged a second-half comeback to beat Barracas Central 3-1 on Monday (October 27) in Argentina's Clausura competition. The match was a rearranged fixture after it was originally postponed following the death of Boca coach Miguel Angel Russo. Boca moved to 20 points and climbed to third in Group A, one point behind leaders Central Cordoba and second-placed Estudiantes. "It was a key match. We have to keep working and improving. This team is ready to win and become champions," Boca striker Exequiel Zeballos told local television. There are three rounds left in the first phase and the top eight in each zone will qualify for the post-season. Barracas were reduced to 10 men in the 14th minute after Ivan Tapia was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Boca captain Leandro Paredes. The hosts, however, opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a long-range shot by Rodrigo Insua. Boca then bounced back with a double by Gimenez in the 53rd and 56th minutes, before Uruguayan Miguel Merentiel scored their third goal 10 minutes later. "In the first half there was little play, but in the second half we were able to turn it around quickly, the game opened up and made them come out to play. We turned it around, and that's good," said Gimenez. (Production: Conal Quinn)
