- Boca Juniors set club record with 11-game winless streak
- Huracan capitalise on disorganised Boca side in 1-0 win
- Tactical errors and leadership vacuum deepen historic slump
Huracan defeated Boca Juniors 1-0 thanks to a brilliant goal from USMNT star Miljevic. The loss marked Boca’s 11th consecutive match without a win, setting a new low in the club’s long and storied history in the Argentine top division. Confusion reigned throughout the match, with poor decisions and disorganised substitutions from Miguel Angel Russo adding to the chaos.
This 11-game winless stretch is the worst in Boca Juniors’ history and a damning reflection of the team’s current state under Miguel Angel Russo. Leadership appears absent, tactics are muddled, and even top players like Edinson Cavani and Leandro Paredes have struggled to make an impact. The lack of intensity, direction and belief has left the team teetering in unfamiliar territory.
A bizarre substitution error at half-time highlighted the ongoing confusion within the squad. Goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin spared Boca further embarrassment with some key saves, but Huracan were always the more cohesive and determined side. The result underscores how far the Xeneize have fallen from their usual standards, with no individual capable of reversing the slide alone.
The pressure is now firmly on head coach Russo and the senior players to find answers, and fast. Boca must rediscover structure, accountability, and purpose if they’re to avoid an even deeper crisis. For a club of their stature, another winless outing would be unthinkable.
