On Wednesday, Boca Juniors achieved a commanding 3-0 victory against Lanús at La Fortaleza during the seventh round of the Group A match of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. This win marked a notable achievement for Boca as they scored three goals in a single match for the first time this season and secured their first away victory. Santiago Ascacíbar opened the scoring with a long-range shot, marking his first goal in his seventh match for the club, followed by Miguel Merentiel, who doubled the score before sealing the match with a second goal from a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

The victory was significant for Boca Juniors, not just for the scoreline but also for breaking a streak of three consecutive draws in their previous matches. Under the leadership of coach Claudio Úbeda, the team managed to find their offensive form, which had been lacking in the earlier games of the tournament. The goals by Ascacíbar and Merentiel highlighted the players' growing confidence and ability to execute effectively under pressure, particularly with Paredes' excellent assist contributing to the final goal.

This match reinforces Boca Juniors' position in the tournament as they strive for a strong performance in the Apertura season. With the team finally registering a victory away from home and achieving a solid win margin, it serves as a morale booster, essential for maintaining momentum as the competition progresses. Fans of the club will hope this performance signals a turnaround as they look to build upon this success in upcoming fixtures.
