Newell´s Old Boys 2:2 Boca Juniors — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Luca Regiardo’s second-half strike earned Newell’s Old Boys a 2-2 draw against Boca Juniors in the Superliga, a result that keeps the hosts unbeaten but denies them a statement win over the league’s form side. The match swung dramatically after a quiet opening, with Boca controlling the early exchanges before the hosts roared back and then had to settle for a share of the spoils.

Boca took the lead on 30 minutes when Santiago Ascacíbar finished from Sebastián Villa’s pass, but Newell’s responded after the break as Matías Cóccaro equalised on 50, assisted by Facundo Gauch. Regiardo then put the hosts ahead on 59 from Lautaro Rios’s delivery, only for Alan Velasco to level for Boca on 81 with Tomás Aranda providing the assist, the goal coming after a scrappy spell littered with yellow cards.

The numbers tell a brutal truth for Newell’s: Boca had 60% possession, 16 shots to nine, and an xG of 1.62 against 0.54, dominating both halves and yet leaving with a draw. Regiardo was the standout for the hosts, his rating of 7.7 and his goal from midfield the difference between defeat and a point, though his booking on 53 showed the edge to his display. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Boca, and while the result failed to confirm that prediction, the live signals backed the visitors at 1.15 and lost—an honest reflection of a game where the better side failed to win.
