SCORE GRAPHIC/ BOCA FANS LOOKING DEJECTED STORY: Boca Juniors were beaten 2-1 at home against Belgrano on Saturday (October 18) in their first match since the passing of head coach Miguel Angel Russo after a long battle with prostate cancer. Prior to kick-off, interim head coach Claudio Ubeda and Leandro Paredes, who wore the captain's armband in place of the injured Edinson Cavani, let off blue and yellow balloons carrying a Boca jersey in memory of Russo.  After a goalless first half, Lucas Passerini opened the scoring for the visitors in the 58th minute from the penalty spot. Paredes then deflected a Belgrano free kick into his own net four minutes later to make it a two goal deficit.  Boca would grab one back though Exequiel Zeballos in the 66th minute but couldn't find an equaliser. The result leaves Boca 7th in Group A with 17 points, just behind fourth-place Belgrano.  (Production: Conal Quinn)
