Boca Juniors' dismal form shows no signs of abating as they suffered yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Argentinos Juniors. The historic Argentine club's winless streak now stretches to 10 matches after a 1-0 loss in the Primera Division.
The decisive moment came when US men's national team midfielder Matko Miljevic found the net in the second half, compounding Boca's misery. The 24-year-old, who previously played for Boca's youth academy, returned to haunt his former club with a well-taken goal.
A Crisis Deepens for Boca
This latest setback marks one of the worst periods in Boca Juniors' illustrious history. The iconic blue-and-gold shirt, synonymous with South American football success, has become a symbol of frustration for their passionate fanbase.
Manager Diego Martinez finds himself under increasing pressure as his team continues to:
- Struggle for goals
- Concede soft chances
- Show lack of cohesion
Miljevic Makes His Mark
The match-winning performance from Miljevic will be particularly galling for Boca supporters. The American midfielder, who represented the US at youth levels before switching to Argentina's youth setup, demonstrated the technical quality that Boca have been sorely missing.
His 67th-minute strike proved the difference in a tense encounter at La Paternal, leaving Boca languishing in the bottom half of the table.
What Next for Argentina's Sleeping Giant?
With the transfer window open, Boca's hierarchy faces crucial decisions about whether to:
- Back their current manager
- Make significant squad reinforcements
- Consider a change in leadership
The club's next match against Racing Club now takes on even greater significance as they attempt to stop the rot.
