Boca Juniors vs Central 0-0

Sunday afternoon & a VIP trip out to the Boca stadium had Alex & I soaking up the intoxicating atmosphere of the Boca Juniors first game of the season.

We were picked up early & in the stadium an hour before kick off so that we could see the team parade their latest trophy, ticker tape filled the air & the sing, chatting & constant drumming deafened our ears & shook the cold concrete floor beneath our feet.

The Jugador 12' PTE, or the 12th player of the team danced & sang all game, & were in fact the best part of the day. The game by contrast was a catalogue of errors & missed opportunities.

The 0-0 score line reflected the poor performance & we were both glad of the excuse to jump up & down to the band so we could keep warm!!
