And that's a very good point for Newell's in a game where the home side had 72% possession. Top performances in defence by José Canale, Franco Escobar and Pablo Pérez in midfield.

90+3' | 0-0 | Ramirez shoots wide this time. Looks like he might have been offside. The chances have been raining in on the Newell's goal in the last 10 minutes. #BOCvNOB #Newells #LigaAFA
90+2' | 0-0 | Half-way through 5 added minutes. Another chance for Boca goes wide from Cardona. #BOCvNOB #Newells #LigaAFA
88' | 0-0 | How did Boca not score? Macagno saves from Vazquez and then Vazquez hits the side of the post with the rebound. Another shot comes in before Newell's breathe a sigh of relief. #BOCvNOB #Newells #LigaAFA
87' | 0-0 | Boca's Cardona hits the post with a header from a set-piece. So close to going behind. #BOCvNOB #Newells #LigaAFA
79' | 0-0 | Funez with a good run down the left-hand side and flashes a shot at goal. Rossi has to dive to his right and push it out with both hands. Good effort. #BOCvNOB #Newells #LigaAFA
73' | 0-0 | Escobar has just been having a treatment after a shocking Almendra challenge. Looks like he ripped through his sock with studs up. Escobar limping but continues. #BOCvNOB #Newells #LigaAFA
68' | 0-0 | Boca have the ball in the net but it's rightly ruled out for offside. #BOCvNOB #Newells #LigaAFA
63' | 0-0 | Right. I'm back. More about meeting Bielsa later. Newell's still holding Boca and we've just made a double sub. Maxi on for his final away game before retirement:
⬆️ Maxi Rodríguez
⬆️ Nazareno Funez
⬇️ Francisco González
⬇️ Juan Garro
