The Chilean keeper, who fired an incredible shot from Sebastián Villa in the dying minutes, helped his side maintain a 1-0 lead, earning them the first victory over the xeneizes in 55 years.
The challenge was not easy Christopher Toselli nor for his team, Center of Cordoba . Opposite they had an always difficult Boca Juniors but -in addition- I found them in a terrible moment: they had not won in their last five games.
But the law of football determines that this is where you can see what the team is made of and the Chilean goalkeeper showed all his hierarchy. The one who trained at the Catholic University always gave security to his teammates in his interventions and when he was beaten, luck was on his side to keep his clean sheet.
This is what happened to him in the 38th minute, when he failed to cut off a cross from Darío Benedetto and Juan Ramírez missed the goal at the entrance of the goal. Situation similar to that experienced in the 54th minute, when Guillermo Pol Fernández hit the crossbar with his shot.
Chance that the supporters of the Buenos Aires team deplored even more, a minute later. It is that after said play, the locals opened the account with a fan of Francisco González Metilli, who hit a rebound in the center of the box and marked the opening of the account without opposition from the visiting defense.
But there was still more than half an hour to play and Boca was not going to give in so easily. All the more so when the The railway team missed a penalty and canceled out the goal scored by Jesús Soraire in the second game for invading the area. Then began the show of recently admitted Sebastián Villa, which became an insoluble problem for the animators. Well, for almost everything. Because Toselli knew how to decipher it.
It was 87′ and Villa took a ball into the rival box, turned around and fired a powerful shot, which incidentally gave a rebound just before reaching the three posts, but the Chilean goalkeeper was remarkable for play the game and with his right hand send to the corner, when everyone was singing the goal of the most popular team on the other side of the mountain range.
And you could say the game ended there. Because although they gave eight minutes of remission and Boca had another chance at the feet of Luis Vásquez (90 ‘+ 7 ‘), the feeling that was left with all those who saw the commitment is that the result would not change even if they played all night.
The 1-0 was doomed and with it, Toselli entered the history of the trans-Andean team. The reason? The Santiago del Estero club had only beaten Boca once, in 1967, and had to wait 55 years, so that again – on the second Professional League date – he would end up throwing his arms up to the sky.
