Boca knocked Racing out in Rosario and advanced to the Copa Argentina semifinals

Boca dealt a heavy blow, and the impact was immediate. Boca knocked Racing out in Rosario and advanced to the Copa Argentina semifinals, on a night that reshaped the picture for the two big clubs still fighting on several fronts.

The win allows Xeneize to keep fueling a clear objective: to compete for a title that could help end the drought. On the other side, Academia was left marked by an elimination that hurt not only on the sporting side, but also brought significant internal consequences.

Boca, through and focused on what comes next

The team from La Ribera got through a tough match and booked its place among the tournament's four best sides. With that result, the blue and gold side keeps alive one of the paths it has open at this stage of the year.

According to the reported context, Boca remains with four fronts open, something that speaks to a demanding schedule and the need to maintain the pace across all competitions.

The qualification in Rosario is no small matter. In a Copa Argentina that does not usually forgive, Boca took a big step and earned a place in the final stretch.

Racing, elimination and an internal shake-up

On Racing's side, the defeat hit hard. Academia was eliminated from the Copa Argentina in agonizing fashion against Boca in Rosario, and the board's response was immediate: the club officially announced the end of Juan Pablo Vojvoda's spell.

The decision was made after the loss to Boca, in a context of sporting frustration that ultimately broke the support the coach had. Beyond the specific blow, the elimination reshuffled the outlook in Avellaneda and opened a period of uncertainty on the bench.

> According to the statement released, Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not continue in charge of Racing after the elimination in Rosario.

Meanwhile, another focus is on Marcos Rojo. The defender, after Racing's elimination from the Copa Argentina, will hold a conversation with Academia's board and ask them to negotiate with Estudiantes so he can play in the Copa Libertadores again.

Rojo, Estudiantes and a decision that could shift the map

Rojo's situation adds a major chapter to this week of upheaval. The center-back, according to verified data, is looking to close his spell at Racing and return to the Pincha to play in the Libertadores semifinals, which stands out as a key target in the final stretch of his career.

> Rojo will ask Diego Milito to let him leave and play the Libertadores with Estudiantes.

That move still depends on internal talks, but it already shows the player's clear intention: to put on the Estudiantes shirt again for a major stage in the continental competition.

A matchup with consequences on several fronts

The night in Rosario was not reduced to a result. Boca won and moved on; Racing lost and was left wounded; and in between, decisions emerged that could alter the transfer market, the squads and the immediate planning.

In the end, the Copa Argentina left one clear winner and one loser with several open wounds. Boca celebrates the qualification. Racing begins to rebuild. And Estudiantes watches closely as a scenario that could still change a great deal.
