Boca Juniors' 1-1 victory over Independiente Rivadavia: Aguirre, Di Lollo, and Alarcón on a tight podium, with Cavani failing.

Boca Juniors improved their performance, and within a close podium, Brian Aguirre , Lautaro di Lollo , and Chilean Williams Alarcón stood out in the 3-0 victory against Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza, on matchday five of the Liga Profesional 's Clausura Tournament . Uruguayan Edinson Cavani failed again and continues his goal-scoring drought.

Below is Clarín 's report card after Xeneize's recovery.

Without much work, he had no problems. The only blemish was perhaps that false start in the first half that Marco Pellegrino saved on the line. A consistent performance.

Sometimes being consistent and not making mistakes is also a merit. He earned his position through dedication and determination, so he never lacks that.

The best of the defense. The youngster always excelled, both in the air and with the ball. He was almost unbeatable in individual duels.

That goal-line save proved crucial to the outcome of the match. He was booked, one of his few blemishes. His performances are putting Russo in a difficult position for when Ayrton Costa returns.

His dynamics almost always break the mold and are also crucial for finishing the ball inside the box. He wasn't as sharp as he was on other occasions, and that detracted from his merit, but he was a constant beacon in attack.

The key player. He seems to become more fundamental to the team's scheme with each match. He's a great player to score and has good positioning in attack to find space and be a constant option. He grew tired and was substituted.

He returned to the middle and thus performed the dirty work that had been handed over to others in previous matches. Simplicity is his main characteristic, taking things away and looking to attack quickly with good decisions.

He did almost everything right. He was involved in the first goal with that cross that ended in a goal against goalkeeper Ezequiel Centurión. A second-half play in which he made a poor pass and Villa nearly assisted for the equalizer for the Mendoza Lepra was on the back foot.

The Chilean returned to action after four matches and a back-and-forth between the nets and the coaching staff. He seemed more willing to score, but with the same lack of clarity that characterized him recently when it came to delivering the final blow.

That he's making mistakes in goal isn't news. But this Sunday in Mendoza, he added another incredible missed chance to his list of goals that frustrates him game after game. On top of that, when he was substituted, he clashed with Claudio Ubeda, Russo's assistant.

He's struggling to find his place on the pitch and has lost the connection he had with the team, especially during the Club World Cup. He rarely touched the ball and had no chances to create danger.

He came on to refresh the attack and provided an assist by leading a quick and accurate counterattack.

"Changuito" is back on the scoresheet, and that's great news for Boca Juniors. Confidence is built in training, but it's also confirmed in matches. And he's doing just that.

A key substitution, at just the right moment. He gave the midfield the intensity it was lacking, and just when Independiente Rivadavia was most desperate for an equalizer, he assisted Zeballos to seal the match.

His ten-month scoring drought and his frustration over that missed penalty in the Copa Libertadores ended this Sunday. He scored for the first time against Boca Juniors and was moved to tears.
