Enner Valencia brought a dramatic turn to the Copa Argentina for Boca Juniors when he came off the bench to score three goals with his head in a 3-2 comeback against Racing in the quarterfinals. The win earned Boca a ticket to the semifinals of the tournament, where they will face Banfield. According to the minutes from the match, Valencia was substituted in the 11th minute of the second half and immediately displayed a dangerous presence in the air—a trait that was central to his hat-trick. The first goal was scored in the 27th minute, followed by an equalizing goal in the 35th minute, and the most dramatic moment came when he pushed the third header into the net in the final 10 seconds of extra time recorded by the referee. The 36-year-old player from Ecuador had his first big moment on his debut for Boca, after he was signed from Pachuca and had a previous season at Internacional. He made his Boca debut on August 18. After a less than successful World Cup with Ecuador, Valencia went through a match streak without a direct goal contribution—six straight games—before scoring and assisting against Central Córdoba. He kept a clean sheet against São Paulo before making another big impact against Racing, under Vojvoda.

Boca's success has also caused concern in the other competition: they will also enter the stage of the Copa Sudamericana where they are one of the feared rivals like Vasco. Also announced is the schedule of possible Cruz-Maltino encounters scheduled for October 13 and 20, with the second leg in Rio de Janeiro. In the domestic league, Boca is currently second in some of the competitions; they are in fifth place in Group A of the Argentine Clausura with 17 points and have scored a place in the knockout stage with four games remaining. Valencia's victory over Racing not only gave them a ticket to the semifinal of the Copa Argentina; it also indicated that his aerial ability could be key for Boca in the two head-to-head competitions they face this season. They will next face Banfield in the semifinal while the other side of the bracket will feature Atlético Tucumán and the winner from Platense vs. Estudiantes.

What's next

After the victory against Racing, Boca Juniors will prepare for their semifinal match against Banfield in the Copa Argentina. The win gave momentum to their season outlook, and fans will be hoping that Valencia's good form continues in the next matches, which could boost their Copa Sudamericana chances.
