Boca Juniors salvage 1-1 draw against Union as winless streak continues
BUENOS AIRES, July 18 (Reuters) - Boca Juniors' winless run in the Argentinian Clausura tournament continued on Friday, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Union at La Bombonera. The visitors got off to a stronger start, with Lautaro Vargas and Valentin Fascendini both testing Boca's goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin in the first half. The home side struggled to find their rhythm after the break and their frustrations deepened when Union took the lead in the 64th minute through Cristian Tarragona, who scored from Franco Fragapane's superb cross. Substitute Leandro Paredes, back with the Argentinian giants after his time at AS Roma, helped spark Boca into life, putting in a superb centre from a corner for Lautaro Di Lollo to head home and equalise five minutes from time. The draw, however leaves Miguel Angel Russo's team still searching for their first victory in the Clausura. They face next Atletico Tucuman on Wednesday.

📋 No Paredes: Boca squad named to face Argentinos Juniors
The Xeneize have announced the squad list for their visit to La Paternal in their debut in the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF). After the presentation of Leandro Paredes at La Bombonera, Boca Juniors face their debut in the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF) against Argentinos Juniors at La Paternal. Advertisement Miguel Ángel Russo has called up 25 players for the championship debut, and there are several notable absences from the list. Paredes, who was welcomed by 50,000 people at the stadium, will have to wait a little longer before wearing the blue and gold shirt again. The World Cup-winning midfielder has trained with his new teammates, but was left out of the squad. Ander Herrera, Milton Giménez, and Ayrton Costa, who are not yet 100% fit, are also not on the list. Meanwhile, Carlos Palacios did not train due to a fever, but was ultimately included among the called-up players and may even start. Cristian Lema, Marcos Rojo, Sergio 'Chiquito' Romero, Esteban Rolón, and Marcelo Saracchi are also missing, as the coaching staff are not counting on them and they could seek a move in this transfer window. Advertisement Exequiel Zeballos is not among those called up, despite having trained normally since returning from the Club World Cup; while Camilo Rey Domenech was also not called up and seems to have fallen out of Russo's plans. Thus, the possible Boca Juniors starting eleven against Argentinos Juniors would be: Agustín Marchesin; Luis Advíncula, Nicolás Figal, Marco Pellegrino, and Lautaro Blanco; Kevin Zenón, Rodrigo Battaglia, Williams Alarcón, and Carlos Palacios or Malcom Braida; Alan Velasco and Miguel Merentiel.
