Godoy Cruz qualified for next year's Copa Libertadores on Friday night with a 3-1 away win over
Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, and in so doing they'll become the first team from the province of
Mendoza ever to play in ... Continue reading →
Saturday involved an early start and a late finish for me in socialising terms in the evening, so
here are the goals from it now. Quilmes claimed only their second win of the season, at home to All
Boys by ... Continue reading →
Arsenal de Sarandí have a reputation, as I mentioned in my club-by-club guide to the new season,
for getting the rub of the green where refereeing decisions are concerned, and in the opening match
of the 2010 Torneo Apertura, they've ... Continue reading →
Two of the newly-promoted sides made their Torneo Apertura debuts on Saturday. Quilmes, who
finished second in last season's Nacional B, did well; a last minute goal from J.J. Morales meant
they claimed a draw at home to Colón, never ... Continue reading →
Sunday's matches in the 2010 Torneo Apertura saw Olimpo take an incredibly early lead in their
first match back in the Primera, but eventually lose 2-1 to Banfield; River dominate possession but
attack brainlessly and end up lucky to beat ... Continue reading →
Banfield recorded their second win of the campaign on Friday night in the evening's only Primera
División match. Substitute Cristian García got the only goal of the game with twelve minutes to
play to hand El Taladro a victory away ... Continue reading →
This didn't go up last night because (not for the first time), Flash kept crashing on my computer,
meaning I couldn't navigate YouTube at all. But here it is now. Saturday's matches saw Lanús and
Newell's draw, San Lorenzo and ... Continue reading →
Sunday's matches in the 2010 Torneo Apertura saw Ángel Cappa welcomed back to El Palacio as a
hero. His River Plate team were more impressive than last week, but still ended up having to defend
as if their lives depended ... Continue reading →
In the final match of the second round of the 2010 Torneo Apertura, Independiente and Argentinos
Juniors met in the Estadio Libertadores de América on Monday evening. I was there, along with Ben
Fawkes from the excellent Football Filter, and ... Continue reading →
Saturday saw San Lorenzo win the clásico against Racing with a spectacular headed winner by
Sebastián Balsas from a corner with just a few minutes to go. It was a match Racing didn't really
deserve to lose, but nonetheless San ... Continue reading →
On Sunday, River Plate continued their excellent form at the start of the season I was there whilst
Boca Juniors lost 2-0 to All Boys, the promoted side claiming their first won of the torneo.
Arsenal beat Huracán ... Continue reading →
Huracán and Newell's played out Friday's only Primera División game in Parque Caseros on Friday
evening, and HEGS was there to see an utterly, utterly dull game characterised by two defences
vulnerable to wide play, and two attacks seemingly unwilling ... Continue reading →
Saturday's matches saw a dull goalless clásico in the Zona Sur between Lanús and Banfield, before
the round sprung into life in Victoria with Tigre's not really deserved 3-0 win over Quilmes. There
were eleven goals in total, and six ... Continue reading →
Boca Juniors' Apertura is going so poorly that it was almost inevitable. They've finally won a
match, and the result is that their bitterest rivals River Plate remain top of the table, Boca
having beaten previous joint-leaders Vélez Sarsfield 2-1 ... Continue reading →
I went to two matches in the weekend just gone, and one of them has already been covered by Daniel
Colasimone over on the excellent Argentina Football World, so if you want to read about Tigre vs
Quilmes, you can ... Continue reading →
Friday evening's two games saw two firsts: Estudiantes de La Plata conceded their first goal of the
season in domestic competition, and Colón got their first win, at the fifth attempt. The
santafecinos beat Racing 2-1 in El Cilindro, thanks ... Continue reading →
Arsenal de Sarandí are the overnight leaders of the Torneo Apertura after beating defending
champions Argentinos Juniors 1-0 in Sarandí on Saturday afternoon. The big story, though, is that
Boca Juniors have lost again, this time at home to San ... Continue reading →
Vélez Sarsfield beat River Plate 2-1 in Sunday's big clash to leave Ángel Cappa's side off the
pace in the title race, and (for the first time this season) in the direct relegation spots of the
Promedio to boot. Vélez ... Continue reading →
Colón de Santa Fe might have finally managed their first win of the season away to Racing last
week, but on Friday evening they found they're still unable to win in front of their own fans, with
a 1-1 draw ... Continue reading →
Saturday saw Godoy Cruz visit El Sur and smash Lanús 4-1 in their own stadium with no fewer than
three golazos. El Granate will be happy that that particular bad news day came on the same day that
Argentina's female ... Continue reading →
Champions Argentinos Juniors are still without a win this season after throwing away a lead at home
for the second time in this Torneo Apertura. This time the beneficiaries were Newell's Old Boys,
the rosarinos scoring twice in quick succession ... Continue reading →
Two comfortable wins for the home sides in Friday's two matches left fans of Gimnasia La Plata and

season, but also brought the first goals ... Continue reading →
San Lorenzo went top of the Torneo Apertura standings on Saturday with an efficient 3-1 win over
Olimpo, coming from behind after the visitors had taken a first half lead. Later in the day, Tigre
got another win to continue ... Continue reading →
Sunday's matches began with another brilliant win for All Boys, who deservedly beat pre-weekend
league leaders Estudiantes 2-1 in Floresta in a thoroughly absorbing game I was there and that
match will be the subject of this week's Thoughts ... Continue reading →
Independiente's caretaker manager Rivardo Pavoni celebrated the team's first win of the season on
Friday evening thanks to Leonel Galeano's 27th minute goal which consigned Gimnasia La Plata to
defeat. El Rojo won 1-0 in the Doble Visera to give ... Continue reading →
After last week's contrasting results, in which Estudiantes lost to All Boys and Boca convincingly
beat Colón, the celebrations switched on Saturday when Estudiantes beat Boca 1-0 thanks to a
Marcos Rojo strike in only the first minute of a ... Continue reading →
River Plate were all set to go just one point off the lead of the Torneo Apertura on Sunday
evening, until former Boca Juniors midfielder Miguel Caneo popped up to head home a poorly-defended
free kick and earn Quilmes a ... Continue reading →
The fourth round of the Torneo Apertura 2010 finally came to an end four-and-a-half weeks after it
started on Wednesday afternoon, with Estudiantes' 2-0 victory over Gimnasia y Esgrima, which left
Gimnasia without a manager. Federico Fernández headed the Pincha ... Continue reading →
Newell's Old Boys beat Vélez Sarsfield on Friday night thanks partly to a ridiculous penalty which
Rolando Schiavi tucked away. Mauricio Sperdutti had already opened the scoring moments before
half-time with a good finish, and Ricardo Gareca's visitors had no ... Continue reading →
Last weekend was somewhat lacking on the goals front, but Saturday and Sunday more than made up for
that with an absolute deluge. Only two matches featured fewer than two goals: Arsenal's 1-0 away
win over Quilmes on Friday, and ... Continue reading →
I'm late with Friday's goals, for which I apologise. Estudiantes went five points clear at the top
of the Torneo Apertura on Friday with a 2-0 win over Olimpo. On Saturday, San Lorenzo lost away to
Lanús by the same ... Continue reading →
Former Racing goalkeeper Hilario Navarro was the man of the match in Saturday afternoon's clásico
de Avellaneda, which was won 1-0 by Independiente after Racing had just the better of a nervy first
half. Later in the day Vélez Sarsfield ... Continue reading →
River Plate and Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata drew 0-0 on Monday to complete the tenth round of the
2010 Torneo Apertura. It was a match that, had River been any good at all, they'd have won easily,
but Erik ... Continue reading →
Friday evening's matches in the 2010 Torneo Apertura saw Vélez Sarsfield move up to second in the
table with a comfortable 2-0 win away to Quilmes, with Uruguayan striker Santiago Silva scoring a
peach of a goal to finish the ... Continue reading →
Saturday saw All Boys claim another win that will live long in their fans' memories. Having already
beaten Boca Juniors and Estudiantes this season, they dispatched an admittedly out of sorts
Independiente (who, nonetheless, are still Independiente) 3-1 in Floresta ... Continue reading →
Sunday saw the weekend's Primera División matches end on a controversial note, as Rogelio Funes
Mori scored a fine winning goal in the last minute for River Plate away to Godoy Cruz only to see
it ruled out ... Continue reading →
Arsenal de Sarandí needed a win on Friday evening to apply some early weekend pressure on league
leaders Estudiantes, and they started well against Godoy Cruz, taking the lead before half time. In
the second half though, the visitors scored ... Continue reading →
River Plate and Racing made it a second damp squib of the weekend in terms of matches I've
attended, with a 1-1 draw in which the hosts were comfortably outplayed for the first half, and
perhaps just slightly the better ... Continue reading →
The remaining two clásicos of the weekend were among Sunday's four Primera División matches, and
the first saw Huracán smash San Lorenzo 3-0 with two brilliant goals from their two centre backs,
Carlos Quintana and Facundo Quiroga. The other, Independiente ... Continue reading →
Friday evening's matches saw Olimpo hand Huracán a good sound thrashing, with a 4-0 win in Bahía

six points (pending the chasing ... Continue reading →
