2008 Copa Sudamericana final first leg: Estudiantes 0 - 1 Internacional

1

Estudiantes tried and tried in La Plata but couldn't get past their opponents' back line - or rather their goalkeeper - and will have to overcome a 1-0 deficit in Porto Alegre next Wednesday.

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.

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 [.

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...

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.

Copa Sudamericana 2008: Boca & River out - the goals

1

River Plate followed Boca Juniors out of the Copa Sudamericana last night to emphatically deny CONMEBOL the all-singing, all-dancing, superclásico semi-final they always seem to wish for in this competition. Leading 2-0 at half time and playing well, Diego Simeone's team fell to pieces after the break and their Mexican opponents Chivas came back to [. Click to continue reading...

Not so scary anymore?

0

There was a popular belief surrounding South American football until last year. It said that Brazilian club sides taking part in the Copas weren't afraid of anyone at all, until they came up against Boca Juniors. When they met the boys from the Riachuelo, though, they'd lie down for fear of angering their foes and [. 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.

Hanging by a thread

That's the state of River Plate's campaign and, perhaps, Diego Simeone's job at the Núñez club on Wednesday night. Having lost the superclásico to Boca Juniors on Sunday, The Copa Sudamericana is all that's left for River to play for.

Copa Sudamericana: Defensor Sporting 1 - 2 River Plate

You could tell it wasn't the league campaign, because River Plate, having crossed the estuary the club took its name from to Montevideo, actually won a match, and it was thanks to two goals from a rather unexpected source. Sebastián Abreu's transfer back to River from Israel only went through on Wednesday, clearing him to [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana: San Luís de Potosí 2 - 1 Argentinos Juniors

Argentinos had a tricky away assignment on Wednesday night, at altitude in Mexico, and compounded the situation by playing pretty poorly for much of the match.

It was League Cup day in England and Scotland, but halfway across the world, Boca Juniors also fielded a side largely made up of youngsters in a second-rate knockout competition. In this case it was the Copa Sudamericana, and the opposition were the champions of South America - recent Copa Libertadores winners Liga de Quito. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana: quarter-final first leg fixtures

It's time for the most ridiculous international club football competition in the world - the Copa Sudamericana - to enter its quarter-final stage.

Copa Sudamericana: the champions march on

A simple assignment for Arsenal de Sarandí on Thursday night in their defence of the Copa Sudamericana, and the test was passed at a canter. Having beaten Deportivo Motagua 4-0 in Sarandí in the first leg a couple of weeks ago, Daniel Garnero's defending champions got through the second with a 2-1 win over the Hondurans in Tegucigalpa.

Nothing to report, and a goal video

It's getting on for 2am and the international friendly between Belarus and Argentina on Wednesday evening was so 'friendly' that neither side bothered to trouble the opposing goalkeeper unduly, by all reports.

Palermo arrives at a record

In a glorified all-Argentine continental pre-season friendly, Boca Juniors hosted Arsenal de Sarandí in Racing's ground on Wednesday night, in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana, played between the winners of the previous year's (not season, confusingly) Copas Sudamericana and Libertadores. Boca ran out 3-1 winners after an early flurry saw them leading 2-1 after [. Click to continue reading...

Argentinos Juniors 0 - 0 San Lorenzo

The first round of the Copa Sudamericana continued on Wednesday evening, with Argentinos and San Lorenzo playing out a thoroughly dull 0-0 draw in La Paternal in which practically nothing happened and both sides appeared to have decided that, if there really had to be any goals in the tie, they could at least wait [.

Independiente 2 - 1 Estudiantes, and Olympic problems

3

After a horrible, endless wait since, oh, a month-and-a-half or so ago, competitive football returned to Argentine soil on Tuesday night as Independiente met Estudiantes de La Plata in the first round of the Copa Sudamericana. It was looking pretty good for Estudiantes, who had an away goal to push them slightly ahead thanks to debutant [. Click to continue reading...
