Boca Falls 1-0 To Lanús, Extends Winless Streak Under Fernando Gago In Professional League
Boca Juniors suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Lanús on Sunday, extending their winless streak under new manager Fernando Gago to four games.
The Xeneize were hoping to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Racing Club, but they were unable to find a way past a well-organized Lanús side. The visitors took the lead in the first half through a goal from Nicolás Orsini, and they held on for the win despite some late pressure from Boca.
The defeat leaves Boca in 11th place in the Professional League, and it increases the pressure on Gago. The former Boca player has only won one of his four games in charge, and he has yet to see his team score a goal from open play.
After the game, Gago said that he was disappointed with the result, but he insisted that he was confident in his team's ability to turn things around. "We have to keep working hard and improving," he said. "We know that we can play better, and we're confident that we can start winning games soon."
Boca's next game is against River Plate in the Superclásico on Sunday. It will be a tough test for Gago's team, but it will also be a chance for them to show that they can turn things around and start challenging for the title.
