The full fixture list for the Primera División A Torneo Apertura 2008 has been released.
Thanks to Seba for posting the fixtures when they were first announced in a comment last
night. Read on for the 'HEGS-approved' official list, with all the clásicos highlighted.
Except the single midweek date, which is noted, all these dates refer to [.
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 [.
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?
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 [.
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 [.
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 [.
The sixth round of fixtures is upon us already. Don't worry, you've not just lost five days of your
life; we're playing in midweek to catch up from the international break last week. Highlights of
this midweek round include River's quest for a decent performance continuing at home to Vélez,
a relegation clash between Godoy [.
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 [.
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 [.
The four - yes, four - matches involving championship contenders on the final weekend of the Torneo
Apertura 2008 will all be played simultaneously, on Sunday afternoon. The AFA announced on Tuesday
that the games would kick off at 5:20pm, bringing them forward almost two hours for security
reasons. It'll be an interesting afternoon for [.
