On the 4th February 2012, the last game of the 2011 Torneo Apertura was finally completed.

the score at 1-0 to the visitors ... Continue reading →
The penultimate round of matches in the 2011 Torneo Apertura started on Tuesday with a fairly dull
few games. Olimpo and Estudiantes played out a dull goalless draw, and in the four matches as a
whole there were only three ... Continue reading →
Boca Juniors were crowned champions of Argentina on Sunday, with two matches left of the 2011
Torneo Apertura. A 3-0 win against Banfield gave Julio César Falcioni's men the title all they'd
needed was a draw. Darío Cvitanich scored ... Continue reading →
Friday's and Saturday's matches in the 2011 Torneo Apertura have seen no shortage of goals, and as
expected, one postponed match San Lorenzo v Tigre will now be played on Monday at 20:30, for the
reasons outlined in this ... Continue reading →
The weekend just gone saw as many crucial contributions from Argentines as ever in the world's
biggest leagues, and a welcome return to form for the usual suspects in the Mexican league after
last week's no-show. With the usual contributions ... Continue reading →
As ever, there were a number of Argentine goals during the weekend just gone in leagues across
Europe. Oddly, there were none in Mexico this weekend (for the first time since I began accepting
contributions for this post!), so Tom ... Continue reading →
I've had a fun-packed weekend (okay, there was a bit of a hangover involved as well) and the
fifteenth round of the Torneo Apertura only ended on Monday night. These two facts have combined to
result in my not getting ... Continue reading →
Tigre beat Newell's Old Boys by a goal to nil on Friday afternoon, to keep their battle against
relegation alive and, incidentally, move joint second of the 2011 Torneo Apertura (albeit
temporarily). Carlos Casteglione got the goal with nine minutes ... Continue reading →
This weekend, of course, sees no regularly scheduled matches in the Primera División in Argentina,
due to the international break for the World Cup qualifiers. We have, however, had the delayed
match from the thirteenth round played between San Lorenzo ... Continue reading →
This is a later than usual summary, but it is timed nicely to coincide with the launch of the
Guardian's new Sports Network, of which HEGS is proud to be a part. Boca Juniors edged closer to
the title with a ... Continue reading →
On Friday, the fourteenth round of the 2011 Torneo Apertura saw three draws from as many matches,
and by three different scorelines at that; 0-0, 1-1 and 2-2. The goalless draw was between promoted

Boca Juniors have now opened up a nine point advantage in the title race for the 2011 Torneo

held 0-0 by Estudiantes on Monday. Elsewhere, Lanús beat ... Continue reading →
Saturday saw Argentinos Juniors claim a comfortable win over Vélez Sarsfield by three goals to one
in La Paternal; it was only Argentinos' second win of the season, and almost certainly puts the
final nail in the coffin of Vélez's ... Continue reading →
The twelfth round of the 2011 Torneo Apertura has been a poor one for the title race, with Boca
Juniors moving on to 28 points and Racing missing a chance to keep on their tails with a 1-1 draw
against ... Continue reading →
Because I've had a somewhat disjointed week of deadlines not being what they normally are,
Argentines Abroad is going up ridiculously late this week. All the same, I did receive the normal
dispatches from France, Mexico, Portugal and Spain, so here ... Continue reading →
The eleventh round of the 2011 Torneo Apertura concluded on Sunday with a 2-1 win for Clausura

later on Racing drew 0-0 with San Martín de San ... Continue reading →
San Lorenzo de Almagro got a 1-0 win over Banfield on Friday evening that lifts some of the
pressure that was coming down on manager Omar Asad's head, thanks to a goal from Juan Manuel
Salgueiro halfway through the second ... Continue reading →
Alejandro Sabella, after playing four friendlies of dubious importance, finally had his competitive
debut as Argentina manager on Friday evening, and it could hardly have gone better. Chile provided
tricky opposition and deserved more for their own efforts, but Sabella's ... Continue reading →
We've got a neat finish from Javier Pastore, Gonzalo Higuaín's hat trick for Madrid, some lovely
goals form Mexico and, um, a description of Jonás Gutiérrez's brilliant solo effort for Newcastle
United (thanks to the Premier League not allowing videos ... Continue reading →
It was inevitable, in spite of a certain lack of cohesion in their play to date, that at some point
River Plate were going to click and put in a good team performance, and that their opponents that
day were ... Continue reading →
Sunday's and Monday's matches in the Primera División ended with Boca Juniors now five points
clear at the top of the league after Racing failed to go into second. Racing were held 1-1 in the
clásico de Avellaneda after taking ... Continue reading →
Friday and Saturday only saw three top flight matches in Argentina, but they were significant all
the same. On Friday night, Argentinos Juniors claimed their first victory of the season, at the
tenth attempt, beating Belgrano 2-1 away from home ... Continue reading →
I've been unable to get Argentines Abroad online so far this week, but my normal contributors have
submitted their pieces as diligently as ever, and it would be unfair not to use them. So, if you'd
like to find out what ... Continue reading →
In the Superclásico de las Américas, Argentina's domestic national team lost 2-0 to their

Olimpo held Arsenal de Sarandí 2-2 ... Continue reading →
Wednesday's and Thursday's matches in the 2011 Torneo Apertura saw little resolved in the race for
the title other than the confirmation that Boca Juniors are the team to chase. Lanús dropped
points for the second round running, Godoy Cruz ... Continue reading →
This week's Argentines Abroad is late, thanks to the midweek round of matches here in Argentina
keeping me busy. Better late than never, though. As well as Lionel Messi's hat-trick in Barcelona's
8-0 demolition of Osasuna, we've got videos of ... Continue reading →
Tuesday afternoon saw the start of the ninth round of the 2011 Torneo Apertura, with Arsenal de
Sarandí hosting All Boys a match which provided the day's only win. All Boys took a 2-0 lead
through two goals from ... Continue reading →
I've got all the videos from the weekend's 2011 Torneo Apertura action for you at once today, due
in part to laziness and in part to business over the weekend (round eight will be played in
midweek, which has meant ... Continue reading →
It was another packed weekend in which Argentines around the world had a big say in footballing

fourteen points with ... Continue reading →
There were four matches in the 2011 Torneo Apertura on Sunday, and for a change none of them ended
in draws. Arsenal de Sarandí got an away win over Banfield, 1-0, in Ricardo La Volpe's first match
in charge of ... Continue reading →
Saturday's Torneo Apertura matches saw some vastly differing margins of victory. To start off,
Godoy Cruz fell a goal down and were thoroughly second best for the first half hour of their match
against All Boys, before roaring back to ... Continue reading →
On Friday night, Atlético Rafaela and Newell's Old Boys got the sixth round of the 2011 Torneo
Apertura started with a goalless draw which means Rafaela could be overtaken at the top of the
league this weekend. Later on, Colón ... Continue reading →
Vélez Sarsfield have had a woeful start to the season, by their own high standards, but on
Thursday night their engine finally crunched and ground into the gear they'd been looking for, and
the result was a 4-0 thrashing of ... Continue reading →

and Godoy Cruz vs Lanús in the second ... Continue reading →
A little earlier today, Argentina took on Nigeria in the second match of their South Asian 'tour',
in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They won 3-1, with two goals from Gonzalo Higuaín and one from Ángel Di
María. You can watch those goals ... Continue reading →
Sunday's matches in the Torneo Apertura began with another dull goalless draw, as Argentinos failed
