WHAT HAPPENED?

Huracán beat Boca Juniors a 1-0, courtesy of a stunning goal from USMNT rising star Luka Miljevic. The result marks Boca’s 11th consecutive match without a win - the worst streak in the club’s long and storied history in Argentina’s top flight.

Confusion reigned throughout the game, as head coach Miguel Ángel Russo’s erratic substitutions and questionable decisions only deepened the team’s disarray. The historic winless run is a stark reflection of Boca’s current state under Russo’s leadership.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

There’s a clear lack of direction. The tactics are muddled, and even marquee names such as Edinson Cavani and Leandro Paredes have struggled to make an impact. The absence of urgency, clarity, and confidence has left the team adrift in unfamiliar territory.

Now, all eyes are firmly on Russo and the team’s veteran players to find quick answers. Boca must rediscover structure, commitment, and purpose if it hopes to avoid an even deeper crisis. For a club of this stature, extending this dismal run would be unthinkable.

DID YOU KNOW?

In both 1957 and 2021, Boca endured 10-game winless streaks - and coincidentally, Russo was also the manager during the 2021 skid.
