Boca Juniors defeated FC Barcelona on penalty kicks to win the Maradona Cup.
A friendly match played in Saudi Arabia in honor of the great Diego Maradona, it was two of his former teams against each other. Jutlga Blanc gave Barcelona the 1-0 leas but it was Exequiel Zeballos who drew Boca level.
The match went to penalty kicks and it was Marcos Rojo who scored the first for Boca as Alves scored his for Barcelona after Rossi nearly saved it. Izquierdos scored his and once more Rossi came close to scoring but could not save Jutlga Blanc’s penalty.
Cristian Pavon would score his penalty with Rossi saving Pereira’s penalty. Molinas would score for Boca and Jaime would miss his as Boca would get the win.
Farewell to Kun, not a happy ending but he’s been very successful footballer in last 15 years. Scores about 450 goals in his career and being Argentina 3rd all time goalscorer.
Guardiola said it perfect. Maradona conquered Italy, Messi conquered Spain and Aguero conquered England.

I really love to see river play against any euro club in top5 legue
Zeballos goal was really great. Quick build up, perfectly weighted passes…very pleasing to the eye. Bonus – Rojo and Pavon with confident pens and a nice nutmeg from Almendra
Didn’t watch the whole thing but they were outplayed, not a lot pressing. Barca had so much room to pass around the 4 or 5 midfielders holding the line instead of pressing. Clumsy and desperate passing at times..not looking bright for Boca (or Barca for that matter)
