It's not over just yet. The Torneo Apertura proper came to a conclusion this weekend but so far we
only know the order of things at one end of the table. Yes that's right, it's official: River Plate
are rubbish. The top four all won - in Lanús's case in vain - so the title [...]
The third round of matches in the 2008 Torneo Apertura is now over, and it's been an interesting
one. Boca Juniors returned to Argentina with a win but lost Martín Palermo, who's torn knee
ligaments and will be out for between five and eight months. That record will have to be put on ice
for [...]
On Friday night, Tigre kept up the pressure on leaders San Lorenzo, who kept their noses in front
thanks to a comfortable win over Arsenal the following day. Sunday was clásico day, with River
matching Racing blow-for-blow in a supremely entertaining match of six goals before Estudiantes
eased past neighbours Gimnasia in the clásico de [.
Hard to say what was the biggest surprise this weekend: River winning after twelve matches;

Méndez right in the middle [.
Racing got an away win which will help them immeasurably in the relegation battle; Estudiantes
edged out Independiente; both Rosario clubs lost on Friday night, and River were involved in a good
match in which it wasn't them who did the throwing away of a good lead, for a change. At the top,
San Lorenzo [.
Lanús won; Boca drew; Tigre and San Lorenzo were both victorious, and the race for the Torneo
Apertura title this year will go to the last weekend, with four teams still involved. River Plate
lost in Vélez's stadium to Godoy Cruz, and are two adrift at the bottom. Get the full lowdown
from all the [.
