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 →
Lionel Messi had the weekend off, putting in a relatively quiet shift, but Gonzalo Higuaín scored
again as Real Madrid kept up the pace in La Liga. Elsewhere two Argentines got their hands on the
French League Cup, Martín Demichelis donned a face mask to return to action for Bayern München
(he'll be using it [.
The first football of the new year is already underway in Argentina; on Saturday Banfield and
Huracán played out a 0-0 draw in which the champions of Argentina had more chances but couldn't
put them away with Santiago Silva, whilst in the first of the AFA's official triangular tournaments
(there's no round robin of the [.
River Plate and Boca Juniors drew 1-1 in the last clásico of the Torneos de Verano on Sunday
night, after which a penalty shootout decided that the Copa Revancha went to River, who won the
penalties 3-2. You can watch both goals and the shootout right here. Lucas Viatri headed Boca into
the lead after [.
Saturday's matches in the ninth round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura saw Independiente return to the
top of the table after Godoy Cruz took the overnight lead, Estudiantes beat Newell's thanks to
goals from Roselli and Boselli (the first of whom was playing for the visitors but scored in his
own net), and then two [.
Diego Simeone stood down as manager of San Lorenzo on Saturday afternoon following yet another home
defeat for the Boedo team. Having lost 1-0 against Gimnasia La Plata, El Cholo announced his
decision to the press on the basis that, 'this is what's best for the club.' Under Simeone, San
Lorenzo had gone on a [.
I'm a little distracted with various things at present, not least the preparations for my move next
week to Buenos Aires. As such there's no Argentines Abroad this week, other than a congratulations
to Lionel Messi for that astonishing four-goal haul in tonight's European Cup match between
Barcelona and Arsenal, which makes him Barça's all-time [.
Monday evening saw the final two matches of the 2010 Torneo Clausura, and there were late
equalisers in both of them for the visiting teams. Argentinos Juniors took the lead away to Arsenal
de Sarandí, but after the hosts had turned the match on its head it fell to Facundo Coria to
rescue a point [.
Independiente advanced to the first round proper of the 2010 Copa Sudamericana with a 1-1 draw in
the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona which contributed to a 2-1 aggregate victory over Argentinos
Juniors for El Rojo. Néstor Ortigoza levelled on aggregate ... 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 →
A quick news update this one: It was confirmed on Thursday that the Argentine national team will
play two friendlies in Buenos Aires prior to leaving for the World Cup. The original plan was to
play the matches in Europe (fans there have more money, you see), but the players apparently
requested that they play [.
For a change, Carlos Tevez had a quiet match in the Premier League, with Manchester City losing to
Everton (Pablo Zabaleta wasn't much better). Elsewhere though, Argentines were in form again.
Lionel Messi became the youngest player ever to score 100 competitive goals for Barcelona and also
the youngest to score 101.
I'm giving the Torneos de Verano a fairly wide berth, as readers may have noticed, mainly because I
find them mind-numbingly dull. All the same, it would be wrong to totally ignore them, and there've
been some interesting results in the last few days. Here, then, you can watch the goals from
Estudiantes' 4-1 demolition [.
It may not count for anything, but a superclásico always attracts a lot of attention regardless,
so here are the goals from Wednesday night's 3-1 River Plate victory in the Copa Desafío in Mar
del Plata. The two teams will square up again in Mendoza at the weekend for the Copa Revancha.
Paraguayan starlet Ricardo [.
The goals from Saturday night's match in Mar del Plata between Independiente and Racing are right
here. Racing claimed the Copa Ciudad de Mar del Plata with a 2-1 win over their Avellaneda rivals,
with goals from new signing Claudio Bieler and Matías Cahais giving them the advantage before El
Rojo's consolation with 8 minutes [.
Oh yes, competitive football is finally back! The first meaningful match of the new decade on
Argentine soil took place in El Cementerio de Los Elefantes on Tuesday night, as Colón hosted
Universidad Católica of Chile in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores qualifying stage, and it
was a humdinger.
On Tuesday night a home-based Argentina squad took on Costa Rica's national team in a friendly
which saw Diego Maradona's return to footballing involvement following his two month touchline ban
(who noticed?). The match was won 3-2 by Argentina, with goals from José Sosa, Guillermo Burdisso
and Franco Jara for the hosts.
The goals (and other highlights) from Friday night's two matches in the 2010 Torneo Clausura can be
watched right here on HEGS now. Both matches were home wins Federico Higuaín got the only one of
the game for Godoy Cruz against Gimnasia with nine minutes to play, and in the other game
Birmingham City [.
Before we begin, a quick feliz cumpleaños to Gabriel Batistuta, the all-time highest goalscorer in
the history of the Argentine national team, who turned forty on Monday. There was no Argentine
action from his old team Fiorentina on Sunday (they drew 2-2 away to Cagliari), but a move for his
heir in the selección; after [.
Well, perhaps not quite an elephant. But Racing Club were on a high following their opening weekend
win over Rosario Central, and on Tuesday night they took the lead but ended up dead and buried
thanks to a comeback from Colón to win 2-1 in El Cementerio de Los Elefantes. Juan Carlos Falcón
put the [.
Wednesday night's goals aren't yet online as I type (in midweek and typing from England it's a
little too late for me to wait for that I'm afraid), but here are the goals from last night's 2-1
victory for Colón over Racing. It's a video worth watching solely for Juan Carlos Falcón's opener
for the [.
The second round of matches for the Torneo Clausura finished on Thursday night with Independiente
claiming a 3-1 win at home to Atlético Tucumán. Earlier in the day, San Lorenzo lost to Godoy
Cruz, who got the only goal of the game in Boedo, and River Plate combined goalscoring verve with
familiar late defensive lapses [.
Both Boca Juniors and Newell's Old Boys hit the same form on Saturday night that they enjoyed (or
endured) during the Torneo Apertura, on a high-scoring day in the Argentine top flight. Boca
managed two consolations but ended up slumping to a 4-2 defeat in Rosario thanks to defending as
bad as anything they managed [.
Former selección captain Roberto Ayala returned to Argentine league action after a decade and a
half in Europe on Sunday, making his debut for Racing with great things expected of him.
Unfortunately, the same poor form and lack of pace that saw him fall down the pecking order to Real
Zaragoza saw to his team's [.
A late and short edition, this one, made so by a combination of my writing commitments elsewhere,
and the running of the last round of the domestic championship into Monday night. HEGS has earned a
bit of a day off in one respect this website is three years old today. The weekend just gone [...]
Estudiantes opened their defence of the Copa Libertadores with a 5-1 thrashing of surprise Peruvian
qualifiers Juan Aurich on Thursday night. The match opened Group 3 of the Copa, and is the first
time in their history that Estudiantes have scored five goals in the Copa Libertadores. Mauro
Boselli hit a hat trick with Germán [.
Wednesday night was a football-packed one, but I spent a fair bit of it finishing off a Copa
Libertadores preview piece for Soccernet so didn't have time to get the goal videos up right after
the games. Argentina's home-based squad played Jamaica in a friendly in Mar del Plata, and after
falling a goal behind [.
Friday saw the fourth round of the Torneo Clausura kick off with a draw in Rosario between Central
and Chacarita, and a win for Tigre away to Arsenal de Sarandí which saw the visitors pick up their
first win of the campaign. Emiliano Zelaya scored for Central on the stroke of half time, but five
[..
Saturday saw the clásico del Sur won by champions Banfield, who got an easy 2-0 victory at home
over a Lanús who offered little or nothing in the way of inventive football, to put an end to an
ignominious week for the Granate. Colombian James Rodríguez scored a real golazo for Banfield to
put the [.
Independiente won a thriller in the Doble Visera on Sunday, after thinking they'd screwed it up.
They threw away a 2-0 lead to allow Estudiantes a glimpse of a share of the points, but towards the
end it was El Rojo who got the win. Ignacio Piatti formerly of Estudiantes' cross-city rivals
Gimnasia [.
Friday night saw the start of the fifth round of matches in the 2010 Torneo Clausura. Colón
visited Chacarita Juniors, winning 2-1 to move level on points at the top of the table with Vélez,
who also won on Friday night, 3-0 at home to Indepediente. You can watch the goals from both
matches right [.
Saturday's three matches were all played out in binary, with only San Lorenzo bucking an already
dull trend by failing to score altogether. That failure gave Racing, in Miguel Angel Russo's first
match in charge, a 1-0 win in El Cilindro which didn't entirely satisfy the new boss; 'We still
need to generate more play,' [.
There were no winners from Sunday's matches in the Primera División literally. One 0-0 and three
1-1s do not an exciting day of football make, but there were a couple of talking points. Matías
Almeyda played for River Plate on the eighteenth anniversary of his debut for the first team, and
was sent off [.
Banfield and Argentinos Juniors met on Wednesday night to play the remaining 82 minutes of the
match that, during the second round of the Torneo Clausura, was called off due to ridiculously
heavy rain in El Sur. The champions won easily, 3-0, with Argentinos offering very little in the
way of a challenge.
A very late Argentines Abroad this week, because I was in Manchester over the weekend and didn't
get home until Tuesday night. One advantage of this is that we saw a very mixed midweek lot of
action. In England it was a bad night for Argentines in the FA Cup Pablo Zabaleta and Julio [...]
Friday night saw Chacarita Juniors cruise to a 3-0 win away to Arsenal de Sarandí, before a lively
match in La Bombonera ended in a 1-1 draw between Boca Juniors and Estudiantes. Martín Palermo
scored a penalty against his former club to take his tally in official matches for Boca to 217
goals Roberto [.
Saturday's biggest match was the first ever clásico de Avellaneda to be played at the new Doble
Visera, and it was a good result for the home side, with Independiente winning by just one goal and
that from the spot. Darío Gandín scored the crucial penalty as El Rojo won 1-0. In the day's
[...]
The goals from Sunday's matches in the sixth round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura are now online,
completing the weekend's action for us. San Lorenzo finally scored at the death against Tigre,
River Plate got a late equaliser after heavy pressure on the Gimnasia defence, Godoy Cruz claimed
an away win over Argentinos [.
Lionel Messi returned to goalscoring form for Barcelona, whilst Carlos Tevez simply returned for
Manchester City and scored as well. Gonzalo Higuaín got another two for Real Madrid, Lisandro
López won a match for Lyon and in Serie A, whilst Diego Milito scored his fifteenth of the season,
Catania only had seven Argentines in [.
The late night caused by typing up Tuesday's Argentines Abroad post got the better of me, and I
totally forgot to put up details of the seventh round of the Torneo Clausura, which is being played
in midweek. Tuesday's matches were generally high-scoring, with Racing's agonising 1-1 draw against
Huracán (who, as I type, have [.
