Argentina's Boca win Supercup despite loss to Once [Thu Sep 1st, 2005]

Once Caldas beat Boca Juniors 2-1 thanks to a header from Ruben Velazquez, but Boca claimed the Supercup on a 4-3 aggregate.

Boca beat the Colombian club 3-1 in the first leg a week ago in Argentina.

The Supercup pitted the champions of the 2004 Copa Libertadores, Once Caldas, against the winners of last year's Sudamericana tournament, Boca.

Once opened the scoring in the eighth minute through Edinson Chara, but Boca drew even in the 60th minute when a shot by Neri Cardozo hit the post and ricocheted to Rolando Schiavi, who found the back of the net with a strong shot.

Once's Velazquez ended the scoring with his header off a corner in the 75th at Palogrande Stadium.
