Apertura ‘08: Round 16 fixtures

1

The end is nigh. The title won't be decided this weekend but Newell's, Vélez and Colón could drop out of the running if they lose. Things might look muddier by Saturday night: that's when San Lorenzo take on Lanús in the Nuevo Gasómetro - an away win would catapult last year's Apertura winners into the [.

What have Southampton F.C. got in common with Boca Juniors?

2

No, it's not the creaking of the shelves in their trophy room. Nor (since the demolition men did their stuff at the Dell) is it a tightly-packed stadium whose stands almost reach the touchlines. And whilst the Boca faithful would no doubt have loved Matt LeTissier, the current playmaking situation on England's south coast isn't [. Click to continue reading...

The goals from the fifteenth round of the 2008 Torneo Apertura are online now, and you can see them right here on the TN Sportblog, as usual. Read on for the running order, for those who don't know which teams are wearing which shirts. Running order for TN Show de Goles: Newell's (white) vs. San Lorenzo (red [.

Apertura ‘08: Round 15 scores and scorers

2

Hard to say what was the biggest surprise this weekend: River winning after twelve matches; Argentinos vs. Estudiantes producing a performance (from one side at least); Vélez beating Boca in the Monumental, or the upshot of that score, which means the leadership of the table is now shared between San Lorenzo and Tigre with four [.

Tigre roar to the top

2

San Lorenzo's slump was momentarily halted last weekend, but it's not been enough to prevent the other challengers from creeping up behind them, and on Saturday night Tigre - whose second-place finish in last year's Apertura was the highest in their history - are joint top of the league, after their win at home to [.

A derby draw and a vital win for Central

1

In El Sur, Lanús and Banfield cancelled each other out in a decent but not exactly stunning clásico on Friday night. Gimnasia La Plata, in a match which could have been crucial for the relegation struggle, beat San Martín de Tucumán 1-0 on the same evening, whilst Saturday's matches have begun with an away win [.

Apertura ‘08: Round 15 fixtures

We're getting towards the business end of proceedings now. Can San Lorenzo regain the initiative after they finally got back to winning ways last weekend? Can River start afresh under assistant boss Gabriel Rodríguez? Will Tigre get the wins (and results in other matches) they need for Copa Libertadores qualification? Click to continue reading...

Rolfi gets a call up!

2

This wasn't expected. Diego Maradona has named three - not five - home-based players to be added to the Argentina squad prior to this weekend's international friendly against Scotland in Glasgow, in his first match as selección boss. In spite of Boca Juniors having exited the Copa Sudamericana, Juan Román Riquelme is not one of them. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 14 goals

All 27 of the goals from the fourteenth round of the 2008 Torneo Apertura are online now, and as per usual you can watch them - including a blink-and-you'll-miss-it stunner from Riquelme at the very start - via the wonderful TN Sportblog by clicking here. Once you've done that, if you're not sure which team is which, [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 14 scores and scorers

Racing got an away win which will help them immeasurably in the relegation battle; Estudiantes edged out Independiente; both Rosario clubs lost on Friday night, and River were involved in a good match in which it wasn't them who did the throwing away of a good lead, for a change. At the top, San Lorenzo [. Click to continue reading...

Just typical…

0

After 14 matches of utter dross (plus a few in the Copa Sudamericana) Diego Simeone signed off as River Plate boss on Sunday evening having served up one of the matches of the season. Even when River won the title in the Apertura they were rarely really entertaining, but this evening was something rather different. Click to continue reading...

Independiente still can’t win

0

On the day they got a new president, Vélez Sársfield lost 2-0 at home to Gimnasia La Plata, a result which significantly slims their chances of fighting for the Apertura title. A little later in La Plata, Estudiantes won thanks to a first half goal from Mauro Boselli, and make it four matches without a win [. Click to continue reading...

On the way

Diego Simeone will manage his last game as River Plate boss this Sunday against Huracán, after admitting in the wake of another spectacular continental elimination, and the worst start to a season in the club's history, that he can't stay until December. Simeone told the River directors of his decision after Thursday night's match against Chivas [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 14 fixtures

Struggling Central kick the weekend off against Lanús, who could add yet another team to the title fray if other results go their way this weekend. Of the sides above the Granate, Newell's visit Banfield, Tigre are away in the 'Elephants' Graveyard' to Colón, San Lorenzo host Gimnasia de Jujuy and Boca visit Arsenal.

The goals from the weekend just gone are online, and TN's site is working today, meaning you can watch them all here. The title and the URL of this TN blog entry both claim it's the 14th round, but don't worry, it's just a typo. You haven't lost a week of your life. Read on [...] Click to continue reading...

Party pooping

Huracán won the match against Estudiantes which marked the 100th anniversary of their founding on Saturday, but the big day was tragically overshadowed when three of their fans were shot - probably by members of the barra brava of their local rivals San Lorenzo - as their coach returned to Parque Patricios after the match [.

A low-scoring weekend, this one. River Plate fielded a reserve side (the first team have already flown to Mexico to prepare for the Copa Sudamericana quarter-final second leg), lost to Lanús and remain rooted to the bottom of the table; Boca Juniors beat leaders San Lorenzo in the clásico in La Bombonera; Tigre lost, away [.

Apertura ‘08: Round 13 fixtures, and a quick service announcement

Here we go again. There's a bumper programme on Sunday and, due to the midweek action, only one match on Friday night. Independiente get us rolling against Godoy Cruz. Sunday sees two clásicos, one in La Bombonera, where faltering joint league leaders San Lorenzo take on Boca Juniors, and the other in El Coloso Del [. Click to continue reading...

There seems to be a technical hitch with the TN sportblog this week (at least on my computer there is, the video isn't loading), and unfortunately the solution isn't an ideal one. If you click here, you'll be taken to the TyCSports website, where near the top of the page (right in the middle if [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 12 scores and scorers

1

The midweek round is over, and Wednesday's matches saw a draw which leaves San Lorenzo sharing the leadership of the table with Tigre. There was also a win for Rosario Central, followed by a draw between River Plate and Newell's Old Boys, which leaves the defending champions bottom of the table for the first time [.

Tigre roar

This will go online a few hours after I write it, because the news about Diego Maradona's impending appointment to the national team job merits some space at the top of the page for a little while, but there was some other stuff going on on Tuesday - Primera A matches, in fact. Vélez bounced [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 12 fixtures

It's only Tuesday, but already we're gearing up for another round of action in the Primera A, and it becomes apparent once more why I refer to 'rounds' rather than 'weekends' in the HEGS headlines. There are some high-pressure matches at the top: Tigre get things started at home to Independiente, and will go top [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 11 goals

The goals from the eleventh round of the Torneo Apertura 2008 are online now, so if you'd like to while away the hours before the twelfth round (which is in midweek this week) kicks off, you can watch them here on TN's sportsblog.

Apertura ‘08: Round 11 scores and scorers

The chasing pack all won and the leaders lost this weekend, so the title race is tightening up. At the bottom River struggled - and lost to another set piece goal - in Jujuy and Central lost in La Bombonera, whilst Banfield couldn't follow up last week's win over Racing with a result against Gimnasia La Plata.

The resurgence continues

1

God knows where this has come from. Racing have looked a better team so far in the Apertura, but lost last week to Banfield and had a tricky match this weekend against top-of-the-table San Lorenzo in a clásico that surely, none of their fans thought they could win. But win it they did, thanks to [. Click to continue reading...

Leaving it late

0

There were ten goals from four matches on Saturday, and they didn't stop coming until the very end of the final game. Both Independiente and Argentinos went into the match at El Cilindro in good form, and a draw seemed an inevitable result, but it only eventually arrived when the visitors equalised in the second [.

A night of contrasts

1

Friday night saw two very different matches. In Tucumán, there was a relatively dull 1-0 win for San Martín over Arsenal, Daniel Vega scoring again for the hosts in the 26th minute to help them return to winning ways after two straight defeats had put an end to a promising start to the season. In [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 11 fixtures (and a word about time changes)

Practically a triple-header coming up: we're about to go through three rounds of matches in one week, because the twelfth round will come in midweek. This weekend, though, Argentinos travel to Independiente following their win in Sao Paulo on Wednesday, Boca take on Central and River visit Gimnasia de Jujuy - it's a very real [.

Huracán could be the recipients of some long-awaited good news before long. The inspectors of the Chief of Government's Mass Events department (the 'Government' in question being that of the City of Buenos Aires) have finished their inspection of Huracán's Estadio Tomás A. Ducó, and will be reporting back their findings on Friday. Click to continue reading...

All the goals from the tenth round of the 2008 Torneo Apertura are online now, including Seba Verón's stunner for Estudiantes and all six of the strikes in the fantastic Arsenal - Vélez match (Vélez's new shirt deserving a highlight of its own, if you ask me). You can view them, as ever, right here [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 10 scores and scorers

The superclásico wasn't the only match featuring struggling teams on Sunday. Racing visited Banfield and lost out on three points which could well prove crucial in El Sur, whilst the clash between Central and Gimnasia La Plata in El Gigante del Arroyito finished in a win for the visitors - meaning River have at least got some company at the [.

Palermo’s heir?

3

Lucas Viatri had hardly had a sniff of anything in the superclásico, but popped up in the 60th minute to decide the match all the same in a manner the great Martín Palermo, looking on, would have been proud of. The goal came after Boca had been reduced to ten men through the sending-off of [...] Click to continue reading...

River Plate vs. Boca Juniors: the (probable) teams

The 2008 Torneo Apertura superclásico kicks off in a little under six hours, but already the starting lineups are known, bar any last-minute calls of bluff or injuries in the warmup. Luciano Figueroa's transfer has officially gone through in time for the former River striker to start on the bench for Boca, wearing the number 18 [. Click to continue reading...

Back from the dead

Before half time, Arsenal de Sarandí were 3-0 down at home to Vélez Sársfield, who incidentally were sporting an utterly beautiful new kit, and playing in a manner which lived up to the new shirts. Three goals in the space of six minutes for Vélez seemed to have put the match beyond doubt, but somehow [. Click to continue reading...
