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 [.

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 16 scores and scorers

This weekend's matches produced 23 goals, and haven't done a lot to make it any clearer who the eventual champions will be. Boca have a slim lead now thanks to their victory, whilst Tigre lost, and Newell's are now out of the running, but Lanús are closing. For all the results, step this way... Primera División [.

Tragedy

1

That's how San Lorenzo's fans are seeing things after their team dropped yet more points on Saturday night. Lanús decided to have one of their good days and completely overran the joint leaders in the Nuevo Gasómetro. Boca can overtake San Lorenzo by winning on Sunday, whilst if Tigre win they'll be all on their [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘08: Round 16 fixtures

2

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 [.

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 [.

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 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...

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.

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 [.

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.

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 [.

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.

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 [.

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).

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 [.

It's that time again. The tenth round of the 2008 Torneo Apertura is upon us, and with it comes one of the world's biggest derbies: all eyes on the Monumental on Sunday, where River Plate will be hosting Boca Juniors in another superclásico.

Football video: Argentinian club president threatens to kill his players

2

Proof that relegation is bad for your health Rosario Central president Horacio Usandizaga is not likely to win any Boss of the Year awards after he was secretly filmed making a speech in which he threatened to kill his club's players and coaching staff. The under-fire president came out with guns blazing (hopefully not too literally) as [. Click to continue reading...

Rosario Central President Horacio Usandizaga Threatens to Kill All His Players

0

Sometimes footballers need a little extra motivation. Goal bonuses, win bonuses, that sort of thing. Just a little carrot to dangle in front of their noses to make them reach that extra bit harder. Argentina's Rosario Central are a team in need of such motivation, as the once great club currently occupies one of the [. Click to continue reading...

Usandizaga apologises

0

Horacio Usandizaga, the magnificently-named but rather less impressively brained president of Rosario Central, apologised on Tuesday for his comments last week - made public on Friday - regarding the club's squad. Usandizaga's son, Manuel, who also works for Central, appeared before the press to assure them his father was truly sorry. Click to continue reading...

Fight Central

0

Newell's Old Boys got a HEGS headline last week thanks in part to their chairman, Eduardo López. It obviously affected the air in Rosario, because on Monday a video was made public of the city's other top-flight football president, Horacio Usandizaga of Rosario Central, engaging in some extraordinary tirades against his very own players, including [.

San Lorenzo stay top

The opening matches of the ninth round of the Primera A Apertura have seen a couple of dramatic results. On Friday night Racing thrashed Central 4-1 in Avellaneda to draw level with the Rosario team in the relegation table and lift themselves - for a couple of tantalising hours until Banfield won away in Tucumán [.

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.
