Barcelona kept their noses in front; Carlos [.
Estudiantes de La Plata played the final of the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, and
despite leading for most of the match through a Mauro Boselli header, they found themselves taken
to extra time by another header this one from Pedro, who's made a bit of history himself. In the
extra [...]
A cobbled-together Argentina side visited the Camp Nou for the Catalán national side's annual
pre-Christmas friendly on Tuesday evening, and were soundly beaten as the home crowd enjoyed
jeering Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuaín. Lionel Messi didn't play, according to Carlos Bilardo
because his club, Barcelona, had requested that he shouldn't.

Friday evening's matches saw Godoy Cruz and Rosario Central battle to a draw which doesn't suit
either team tremendously, and Racing get a win over Tigre thanks to a great finish from Sebastián
Grazzini. In the other match, Banfield travelled to Huracán and got a 1-0 win courtesy of a shot
from Santiago Silva (who [.
Following a controversial election which was 'won' by Rodolfo D'Onofrio by a margin of only two
votes, a recount was held which went into the early hours of Sunday morning, and the result is in:
Daniel Passarella, former player and manager, is the new president of Club Atlético River Plate,
having won 5,298 votes to [.

Sunday's matches were orderly in scoreline if nothing else: there were four 2-0 scorelines, all but
one of those going to the away side (Boca, who beat Banfield 2-0, were the only home victors but
their victims didn't care because they took the title anyway). Vélez Sársfield vs Rosario Central
was the sole exception [.
I really needed an early night on Monday, which is why the full scores from the final round of a
wonderful Torneo Apertura didn't go up as usual right after the last match. Monday's two games saw
only one goal Atlético Tucumán beat Gimnasia but you can watch it here all the same. [...]
Estudiantes de La Plata advanced to the final of the Club World Cup on Tuesday by beating South

Mexico, in the final on Saturday. Leandro Chino Benítez got both of Estudiantes' goals, and you
can watch them here.

this year to run a ' Ten Best Goals Of The Apertura' feature, which their website says is,
'inspired by the Puskás Award [FIFA's new "best goal of the year" gong].' It's as if this weren't
an idea the [.
