What was the Argentina reserve league live score: the performance of the top leaders
The Argentine Reserve League, or tournament for young players, first appeared in 2013. It became known for its unique and somewhat confusing rules, as well as the opportunity for young athletes to prove themselves. Many coaches also put injured soccer pros in the tournament – the Reserve League was essentially becoming a second start for them.
This year’s win deservedly went to Boca Juniors, even though the team failed to perform well among the reserves in the first round. The draw in the Superclasico was a dangerous moment for Reserva de Boca, but despite that, the reserves still managed to take the lead over Arsenal 3-1 in the decisive battle. It was thanks to this that the team instantly rose to fifth place in the rankings, reached the final battle and defeated the Lanos team 2-0. It is also important that in 2022 because of Covid many teams lost their players. For example, important people left, such as:
- Franco Petroli;
- Thomas Galvan;
- Axel Encisas;
- Pablo Caceres; and others.
This did not prevent the reserve teams from having 27 participants each. Although, in fact, the entire tournament was jeopardized, they were still able to hold it and even scheduled a number of events for 2023.
How was the game between Boca and Arsenal?
One of the most intense moments for Argentine soccer fans was the match between Boca and Arsenal. It was in this match that Boca’s fate was decided – the team was able to reach the Super Final and become the winner of the Reserve League in 2022. Hugo Ibarra’s team battled Arsenal at the Eceisa training center, where they won. Although Boca’s position was not very favorable in the beginning, the team still managed to beat Sarandi. The main goal chances were created by Vicente Taborda and Valentina Barco, although Xenesis still played the decisive role.
The first leg of the game gave Arsenal all the chances to win, although Boca already had the superiority at the beginning of the half. The second half dealt a decisive blow to Arsenal, as Brandon Sos was disqualified from the game. After a significant hit on Colo Barco, the man got a red card and the Arsenal team was left without a good striker.
Everyone who followed the Argentina reserve league live score was convinced that there was no way the Arsenal team could rehabilitate the situation. Nevertheless, after a few minutes after the disqualification of one of the players Boquete was awarded a penalty and Juan Paynipil successfully scored the first goal giving the fans hope. Nevertheless, the game was over before the final whistle. The decisive goal was scored by Boca teammate Lucas Langoni who brought the game to a 3-1 final. Arsenal fought with dignity and many fans think that without the disqualification of the striker, the team could have won.
Who do fans remember from the 2022 Reserve League?
The Reserve League in Argentina gives fans the opportunity to see new faces in soccer, and perhaps future world-famous champions. This season, the offensive linemen and strikeouts of all teams have certainly received special attention. Although the obvious fan favorite was the Boca players – the team that won the season. Also, special attention was paid to the following players who showed good success at their young age:
- forward Jorge Forastello – scoring 6 goals in 5 games;
