As the poem said. Let the brothers be united!!!!
While River spent two calm weeks training with ALL their players (except just one that was called to play for Colombia team), Boca inner problems had the team ON FIRE! Plus Boca had many players called to play for their National Teams.
First, Caranta issue. Second, Caceres issue with Riquelme.
And the Super Clasico awaiting!
There was a third event. Luciano Figueroa joined the team. Figueroa was allowed to join the team in the middle of the tournament because Martin Palermo injury was so severe that the rules allow any team with an injured player out for more than 6 month to bring a new player to their squad.
Figueroa played in River last year! But he suffered the very same injure that Palermo suffered in his knee. But River just “thrown him away”. They forgot about him. So he was in anger with River for that. So he was very enthusiastic about coming to Boca and having revenge!! He was on the bench but was not sent in to play this time.
Now, the match. The first half was very disappointing. Boca young goalkeeper Garcia was doing fine but conceded to many dangerous rebounds. River attacked more than Boca
Riquelme was playing bad. Missing many passes.
Second half started. Ten minutes after, Boca’s defender Ibarra was shown the RED CARD because he was furiously demanding a “throw in” mistaken… Bad bad bad for Boca. Ibarra is old enough to not play like a child like he did in this one.
Bad moment for Boca. But… all of the sudden, Riquelme’s free kick to the box is headed by young Viatri (striker replacing Palermo) and.. GOAL!!!!!!!!
River 0-1 Boca !!!!!! Great!! Scoring with just 10 players!!
After that, it was all about controlling the ball. And the TRUE RIQUELME appeared, managing the match AT WILL!!!
So, despite our faults, Boca IS A COMPLETE TEAM. It is almost a FAMILY!!! The team has problems, but they know how to go on and go on!! 
Finally, all the players hugged together… Riquelme found Caceres and ended hugging him… Game Over!! I hope Issues Over too!!!

What a game! And especially the ending with the hug between Riquelme and Caceres.
The second picture: Who is that? It must be Viatri. It’s Viatri, right? He looks a bit like my Gjasula. Just a bit, but still.. And what a goal!
Really great! I wanna go to a sg match in November. I wanna go to JUST ONE match in November. But there are three matches, I would like to see! First there is the derby against FC Wil, then there is the cup against Locarno, then the game against the leader Lugano. Well, I founded out I’m not here to watch the Cup game, but still two to decide. Which one would you take??

Yes! It is Viatri on the second picture. He is silly, isnt he?
So, your options are seeing the DERBY or seeing the match against the LEADER…
Well, I’m thinking about any derby on the world. It is always an special match. FC Wil is far away from the top. It seems an easy match (just before playing).
But seeing the match against the leader will be great. They both wanting to keep the top for themself. It will be an intense match.
So it is up to you! I think the derby will be a calmed match seeing the rival is way too far from FCSG. If you want to enjoy a match without big problems, I would choose the derby. If you want to shout and fight for the top with punches and teeth, go for the leader match! Will it be a hard one or an easy one??
