Tevez scores first goal since Boca return
Buenos Aires, Feb 5 (IANS) Carlos Tevez scored for the first time since his return to Boca Juniors last month but his team could only manage a 1-1 draw with nine-man San Lorenzo.
Tevez, 34 on Monday, struck with a header after a Leonardo Jara cross, cancelling out Ruben Botta’s long-range effort at the Nuevo Gasometro stadium, reports Xinhua news agency.
Midfielder Facundo Quignon was sent off just before halftime when he earned his second yellow card for a rash challenge.
The hosts were reduced to nine men with eight minutes left when full-back Gabriel Rojas was also booked for a second time for a crude tackle.
The result maintained Boca’s six-point lead over San Lorenzo in the Superliga Argentina standings, with both teams having played 14 matches.
Tevez, who began his career at Boca in 2001, had spells with Corinthians, West Ham, Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus before rejoining the Buenos Aires outfit in 2015.
After a disappointing 2017 season with China’s Shanghai Shenhua, Tevez began his third spell with Boca last month.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
