Boca Juniors beat Deportivo Riestra 1-0 on 25 January 2026, with Lautaro Di Lollo scoring the decisive goal in the second half. It was the opening match of Claudio Úbeda’s formal coaching cycle.

Di Lollo, a basic defender, headed home from Leandro Paredes’ free-kick delivery. He scored about 30 minutes into the second half, and Boca held on through a tense closing period to secure the win.

News Digitales described the victory as hard-fought and identified Di Lollo as the scorer. Its account places the goal after halftime, not in a first-half scoring run.

For Deportivo Riestra, the fixture ended in a narrow defeat. The Liga Profesional’s published schedule also listed Instituto-Deportivo Riestra for 23 October 2026 at 21:15, with Andrés Gariano appointed as referee and Nicolás Ramírez assigned to VAR.
