The shot-stopper made an excellent save from Lenny Rodriguez's shot by finger tipping it over the crossbar in the first half.
In the second part of the game, the same local hero unleashed a shot from outside the box, but Boerchio was equal to his task to tip the ball over the crossbar again. Apart from the shot-stopper, the outfields were underwhelming and struggled to win duels against FC Goa.
