Boca Juniors endured their worst-ever run of form as they extended their win-less streak to Il games across all competitions following a 1-0 loss at Huracan on Sunday, courtesy of Matko Miljevic's second-half goal.

Boca failed to recover from their disappointing Copa Argentina Round of 32 exit earlier this week and now sit 13th in Group A of the Clausura, having managed just two draws before the loss to Huracan.
Miguel Angel Russo's team once again produced a lacklustre performance, with goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin emerging as their standout player.
"We are very angry about the team's current situation, but we know we have to turn this around," Marchesin told TNT Sports.
"We have great players. There is a lot of sadness within the squad. We have to work harder than ever to keep improving."
