Sun Feb 02 21:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Boca vs. Huracán: Marchesín’s Debut Highlights High-Stakes Matchup

**Buenos Aires, Argentina** – The highly anticipated match between Boca Juniors and Huracán kicked off this evening at La Bombonera, marking the debut of Boca’s newly signed goalkeeper, Agustín Marchesín. The 36-year-old, arriving from Gremio, replaces Leandro Brey, whose performance had shown some inconsistencies.

Huracán, meanwhile, fields a new face in their starting lineup: Marco Pellegrino, a central defender recently acquired from Independiente. Manager Frank Kudelka opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring Pellegrino alongside other key players.

Boca’s manager, Fernando Gago, also employed a 4-2-3-1 strategy for the match, with the notable inclusion of Marchesín. The absence of Boca’s Marcos Rojo, recovering from an overload injury sustained against Argentinos Juniors, was also confirmed. Rojo won’t even be on the bench.

The match, part of the 3rd round of the Apertura 2025 Tournament, holds significant importance for both teams. Both Boca and Huracán are winless so far, with two draws each. The game is being broadcast on ESPN Premium and various cable and satellite providers, requiring a sports package subscription. LA NACION will provide live coverage.

Meanwhile, negotiations continue for Kevin Zenón. Porto has offered $10 million for the Boca midfielder, a bid deemed insufficient by Boca, who are holding out for his $20 million release clause. The deadline for negotiations is February 4th.

The referee for tonight’s encounter is Silvio Trucco, with kickoff set for 7:15 PM.
