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 [.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 [.

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

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 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.

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 [.

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 [.

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...

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 [.

Santoro takes charge at Independiente again

0

Independiente have acted quickly in naming the successor to Claudio Borghi after the manager left the club in the aftermath of the 1-0 defeat to Huracán on Saturday. Santoro was stand-in prior to Borghi's arrival but now takes the reins on a permanent basis for his fifth spell in charge of his beloved club (only [. Click to continue reading...

Borghi caught in a storm

0

Independiente find themselves managerless on Sunday evening after losing by a single goal to Huracán in Argentinos' stadium. Claudio Borghi, who's overseen just two wins so far in the Apertura, and three consecutive defeats after the loss today to Leandro Díaz's brilliant overhead kick, stood down from his post after the match, telling reporters; 'after [.

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.

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.

River and Boca both suffered shock defeats on Sunday, San Lorenzo won on Friday to ensure they still top the table tonight regardless, and Vélez, who won well against Central on Saturday, are close behind them.
