In a recent match, Boca Juniors faced Gimnasia and Esgrima from Mendoza and ended in a disappointing draw, marking a third consecutive tie for the team. Coach Ubeda expressed feelings of "anguish and pain" in response to negative reactions from the fans, including whistles at the end of the match, reflecting the team’s underwhelming performance at home in La Bombonera. Despite creating numerous scoring opportunities with 18 shots, only five were on target, leading to frustration over the game’s outcome.

Ubeda's tactical choices and the benching of key player Leandro Paredes, who returned from injury, are being scrutinized as the team struggles to secure wins against newly promoted opponents. The match highlighted Boca's inability to convert chances into goals, which has become a pattern in their recent outings. Furthermore, the controversy surrounding a disallowed goal due to VAR decisions has fueled further criticism and disappointment among the supporters.

The recurring struggles of Boca Juniors, especially at home, raise questions about the team's direction and Ubeda's leadership. With fan expectations high and results falling short, the pressure on the coaching staff intensifies as they navigate the challenges of both performance and public sentiment. As Boca continues this season, the need for a turnaround becomes increasingly urgent to restore faith among its dedicated fans and secure victory in future matches.
