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 [.

Copa Sudamericana 2008: Estudiantes through to the final

1
The second leg of the Copa Sudamericana semi-final between Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata was as all reasonable people expected it to be. That is, after Argentinos' first team thrashed Estudiantes' reserves 5-0 in the league on Sunday, it was evident to all that Estudiantes would advance from the semi. Click to continue reading...

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 [.

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...

Copa Sudamericana semi-final first leg: Argentinos 1 - 1 Estudiantes

14
Estudiantes de La Plata were for the most part the better side away to Argentinos Juniors in the first leg of the all-Argentine Copa Sudamericana semi-final on Thursday night. At half time they led 1-0 thanks to an unlucky own goal from Argentinos 'keeper Sebastián Torrico, but in the second half Juan Ignacio Mercier got an equaliser for the hosts to [.

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...

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...

Copa Sudamericana 2008: Argentinos and Estudiantes through

1
Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata both completed aggregate victories over Brazilian opponents on Wednesday night to win though to the semi-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana. They'll play each other in one semi-final. The other might be a double-headed superclásico, depending on Thursday's results, but more likely it'll be an all-Brazilian semi.

Apertura ‘08: Round 13 scores and scorers

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 [.

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.

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.

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 [.

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...

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.

Leaving it late

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 [.

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 [.

Inter 2 - 0 Boca & Palmeiras 0 - 1 Argentinos: the goals

Following River's loss at home to Chivas in the Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday night, Boca and Argentinos played just a little too late for coverage to appear right away on HEGS. Mixed fortunes for Argentina's representatives against Brazilian opposition: Boca were well beaten by 2005 Copa Libertadores winners Internacional in Porto Alegre, Alex striking twice, [.

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 [.

Santoro starts well, and Russo for the selección?

1
Pepé Santoro's first match in charge of Independiente (of his current spell at least) was a pleasing one for the manager. Visiting the 'Elephants' Graveyard', away to Colón, Santoro saw Lionel Núñez pay back with interest the confidence the manager had so publicly placed in him during the week, as El Rojo won 2-1 thanks to [.

The halfway point has arrived in the Torneo Apertura title race. There's a .35-pointer at the bottom of the Promedio to kick things off - if Racing beat Central in Avellaneda they could, depending on results elsewhere, move out of the relegation zone for the first time in living memory. Leaders San Lorenzo travel to [. Click to continue reading...
