Apertura ‘08: Round 18 fixtures

0
The penultimate weekend of the Torneo Apertura 2008 might see the title race decided, but it's unlikely. Lanús get things going away to Vélez; win and they'll crank up the pressure on the sides above them. The other contenders all play on Sunday. If Boca win away to Gimnasia La Plata, and Tigre (away to [. Click to continue reading...

The Crow flies again

0
1-0 down from the start of the clásico 'away' to Huracán in La Bombonera, it took San Lorenzo three whole days to equalise. When Aureliano Torres eventually got that equaliser, though, three minutes into the second half of 37 minutes, the floodgates opened. El Cuervo battered their local rivals and came away from Boca's stadium [. Click to continue reading...

The (possible) return of the Prodigal Son, and Riquelme to be charged?

0
Having fallen slightly behind over the weekend, it's worth mentioning briefly here now that discussions were going on on Sunday between José María Aguilar and Ramón Díaz to solve River's current crisis by bringing back the most successful manager in the club's history. His contractual situation with América de México is the sticking point at [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 17 goals

At the time of writing, TN haven't got round to putting this week's Show de Goles onto their blog yet, so instead, I'm embedding it directly into this page. Read on to see the goals, and the normal running order, as well as a couple of links to the TN videos of goals from the [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 17 scores and scorers (so far)

2
Boca Juniors edge closer to the title but Tigre, after ensuring River Plate remain bottom, are still right on their heels. Gimnasia La Plata climbed to the top of the Promedio relegation zone and dragged Colón towards it, should the sides below them have a run at some point. The other relegation clash, in Jujuy [.

Edging closer

1
Two matches now remaining, and Boca Juniors are keeping their noses just in front in the championship race. On Sunday they completed their clásico against Racing in La Bombonera - unlike Huracán against San Lorenzo in the same stadium the day before - and the result gave them another three points to once more overtake [.

Apertura ‘08: Round 17 fixtures

2
It's getting closer to the end now. There's a clásico which will prove important at both ends of the table(s) in La Bombonera on Sunday, which will be the second derby of the weekend in the stadium: Huracán aren't allowed to use the Tomás Ducó after all following the death of Rodrigo Silva on Sunday [.

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 [.

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...

Apertura ‘08: Round 13 goals

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...

Apertura ‘08: Round 13 scores and scorers

2
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

4
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.

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 [.

Apertura ‘08: Round 12 fixtures

1
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 scores and scorers

2
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

2
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...

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

4
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 [.

Apertura ‘08: Round 10 goals

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

1
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...

Pumas vs América: ¿Un partido más?

3
Independientemente de si América viene mal, si no es el favorito, si ha perdido ese respeto que se le tenía como "equipo grande", la realidad es que hay ciertos partidos que, no importa como vengan cualquiera de los dos equipos, se juega con todo. América va a tener dos "clasiquitos" seguidos, el pasado que ganaron ante [. Click to continue reading...

On Friday night, Tigre kept up the pressure on leaders San Lorenzo, who kept their noses in front thanks to a comfortable win over Arsenal the following day. Sunday was clásico day, with River matching Racing blow-for-blow in a supremely entertaining match of six goals before Estudiantes eased past neighbours Gimnasia in the clásico de [.

A real clásico in the Monumental

1
The first of Sunday's two clásicos lived up to the name as, in a frantic encounter which barely saw the pace let up at any point, River Plate and Racing Club drew 3-3 in a match which saw no little rain, late chances to win for both sides, a red card right at the death, [...] Click to continue reading...

Sunday is clásico day this weekend, with River hosting Racing in the country's oldest derby before Gimnasia visit Estudiantes - as a genuine away team, for the first time in a few years - in the La Plata derby. Boca - who beat Newell's 4-2 in the remaining match from round two on Thursday afternoon [. Click to continue reading...

Almost crazy over Lunati

2
There was no doubt as to the hot issue of the day in the Argentine press on Monday. The Boca Juniors vs. Independiente clásico in La Bombonera saw two red cards for the visitors during a second half which referee Pablo Lunati seemed to be losing control of at one point. Guillermo Rodríguez grabbed a [. Click to continue reading...

It's been an interesting weekend in Primera A, with Gimnasia de Jujuy and Huracán giving us a seven goal thriller to kick it off, Racing making it three matches unbeaten, the two promotees sharing the spoils in Tucumán, and River stumbling again. There was also a draw in a very heated clásico between Boca and [. Click to continue reading...

It's been a long two weeks away from top flight club action, but after the disappointments of the selección's performances against Paraguay and Peru, the Primera A is back to provide us - surely - with some good football and excitement once again. Champions River Plate have been experimenting during the break and it's anyone's guess [. Click to continue reading...
