After the finalísima comes the rather more mundane business of recording the scores from the final
round of the 2009 Torneo Clausura. Vélez took the title and Gimnasia de Jujuy and San Martín de
Tucumán both go down, as we already know, but elsewhere there were wins for Boca and San Lorenzo,
one last humiliation [.
Tuesday night saw a home win at the Gigante del Arroyito, not that it'll be much consolation for
the majority of supporters of the selección. River Plate played ineptly and when Diego Buonanotte
gave the ball away in midfield, Rosario Central were able to break and score their second goal in
an eventual 2-1 win.
Martín Palermo scored an amazing 45-yard header to win a five-goal bonanza in La Bombonera as Boca
Juniors became the first team this season to beat Vélez Sársfield. It's got the more excitable
elements of the Argentine press (which is to say, the Argentine press) insisting that he should
start for the selección.
River Plate didn't have an easy welcome home from their fans following the midweek elimination from
the Copa Libertadores, but just about got past Gimnasia de Jujuy anyway, thanks to Marcelo
Gallardo's assist - with his first touch after being brought on at half time - for Radamel Falcao
García. Elsewhere on Sunday Central saw [.
Sunday's matches saw Racing edge a little further clear of Rosario Central in the promedio thanks
to a draw against title-chasing Colón, a few hours after River Plate and Independiente had served
up a veritable feast of complete and total bloody incompetence with a second half that saw three
three!
Sunday's two clásicos saw two unheralded winners, although given recent form they weren't,
perhaps, huge surprises. Huracán won away to San Lorenzo (in La Bombonera) for the first time in
seven years to maintain the pressure at the top thanks to absolutely useless marking at a corner
from Diego Simeone's supposedly solid defence.
River Plate began the Apertura as they mean to continue it, conceding a chaotic goal to Banfield
after just a minute and looking largely toothless in an attempt to get back into the game. Clausura
runners-up Huracán scored a cracker but still lost to Lanús, and Boca were 2-0 down at home to
Argentinos at [.
The weekend's clásico was a damp squib, with San Lorenzo and Racing cancelling each other out in
Boedo. Earlier on Sunday Newell's beat Lanús to go fifth, whilst on Saturday Chacarita's pointless
start to the season continued with a 3-1 defeat to Colón, and Independiente took a point from the
champions, Vélez Sársfield.
Boca Juniors beat Chacarita Juniors by three golazos to nil (losing Juan Román Riquelme to a foot
injury until 2010 in the process), and Lanús dismembered Tigre in El Sur, but the big story of
Thursday was River Plate's 2-1 victory over Argentinos Juniors the Núñez giants' first away win
in 17 attempts, with [.
Saturday's matches saw Newell's Old Boys return to the top of the table with a 2-1 home win over
River Plate in which, not for the first time, Diego Buonanotte gave the visitors their only joy of
the match. A little later, Atlético Tucumán ended a run of eight matches without a win, thrashing
Tigre [.
The thirteenth round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura ended on Monday night with a late, late goal from
Arsenal de Sarandí midfielder Diego Galván which clinched a point for El Arse after they'd
trailed for practically the entire second half to Huracán. Angel Cappa's team were thus denied a
third win of the campaign.
One match was postponed this time round - the Thursday night match in Mendoza was suspended by the
referee with the score at 1-1 after Godoy Cruz fans rioted. The club will have to pay for the
stadium (which is municipally owned) to be repared before the city council allow it to be used
again. [...]
On Sunday, Racing finally won a match to minimise the damage done to their survival hopes by their
rivals' victories earlier in the weekend. Juan Román Riquelme put a turbulent week behind him
to help Boca to an easy win over Argentinos, Newell's came back from behind twice against
Huracán to claim a point, and [.
Away from La Bombonera, there was action that was more meaningful, if anything, to the league
standings. The lead went from Colón to Vélez, but is now shared between the Liniers club and
Lanús, who beat Tigre on Sunday evening. Racing actually took the chance they were presented with
to climb a little further away [.
Sunday's last matches ensured River Plate weren't the only utterly embarrassed team this weekend
and both the humiliations occured at Huracán's ground. Independiente got given a thorough
going-over as the 'home' side against Estudiantes. 2-0 up at half time, Alejandro Sabella's boys
ran out 5-1 winners.
Vélez Sársfield got a win to keep the pressure on leaders Lanús which also relegated Gimnasia de
Jujuy after three seasons in the Primera A. Elsewhere on Sunday Martín Palermo turned in a vintage
performance as Boca Juniors beat San Martín de Tucumán, Tigre saw off Copa-distracted
Estudiantes and there were dull draws in La Plata [.
At the start of play this weekend, Arsenal de Sarandí were bottom of the Torneo Clausura, and
Lanús were top. In most leagues it would have been a foregone conclusion but this is Argentina.
Bottom beat top 4-1, and after Colón khad ept up what little heat they could add to the title
race with [.
The clásico del Sur was a happy one for Banfield, who ran out 2-1 winners away to Lanús. The
goals came from a Paraguayan and a Uruguayan, which could be the Argentine version of some sort of
'Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman' joke. Estudiantes beat Independiente late on, and in the first
half of the final match [.
We're now halfway through the Torneo Apertura, and two points separate 1st from 8th. How's the
AFA's playoff system going to work if everyone ends up on the same points total? San Lorenzo lead
after edging out Central on Friday evening, Racing and Gimnasia La Plata both lost on Saturday, and
Sunday saw Rolando Schiavi [.
The game of musical chairs atop the Primera División gathers apace. Estudiantes, Banfield and
Newell's have all led the table at various points since Friday afternoon, but at the end of the
weekend it's Colón who are left looking down on the rest of Argentina, after a 2-1 win at home to
San Lorenzo courtesy [.
The fourteenth round of the Torneo Apertura ended on Monday. Relegation strugglers Racing claiming
a hard-fought win over the champions of South America, Estudiantes de La Plata, thanks to a goal
from a former Estudiantes player. Estudiantes' city rivals Gimnasia tore Huracán to shreds,
running out 4-1 winners in a match which saw two superb [.
The meaningful bits of the clásico rosarino on Sunday had all taken place before the match was
even half an hour old, but whilst it lasted it was an absolute cracker. Two goals in one minute put
Central ahead against the hosts in El Coloso Del Parque after just twelve minutes, but Newell's,
fighting [.
Argentinos and Arsenal drew on Monday, and with four matches remaining the picture in the title
race is only a little clearer. Banfield sit top, two points clear of Newell's Old Boys.
Estudiantes, in spite of their win on Friday night, are six points behind the leaders in third,
Colón a point further back than [.
In the Estadio Florencia Sola they're celebrating along with those in the upper tier of La
Bombonera. Banfield may have lost to Boca Juniors, but for the first time in their 113 year
history, they're champions of Argentina thanks to San Lorenzo's 2 0 win away to Newell's Old Boys
which ended the lingering [.
Independiente won out in the Clásico de Avellaneda and Tigre lost at home to Vélez whilst
in another clasg between sides who will be fighting for the title, Lanús narrowly edged out
Boca Juniors. Something very odd is happening in Núñez though. On Sunday River Plate not
only won to go top of the table, [.
Martín Palermo scored for Boca Juniors to claim his 196th goal for the club but, whatever you
read on other websites in the next day or two, he has not just become the club's all-time leading
goalscorer. Lanús went top with an away win in Jujuy, whilst Racing got done over again, and
their former [.
With Godoy Cruz, Gimnasia La Plata and Central both drawing on Saturday, Racing had a chance to
gain some points in La Plata, but were more concentrated on keeping Estudiantes out. Amazingly,
given that we're talking about Racing, referee Carlos Maglio booked Mauro Boselli for diving rather
than give a penalty against Caruso Lombardi's boys, [.
The top three have had a game of musical chairs this weekend, and thanks to Lanús losing, Colón
drawing and Vélez winning, it's the boys from Liniers who reach the halfway point of the campaign
on top. Neither River Plate nor Boca Juniors prepared in an ideal manner for next week's
superclásico - it's normally [.
Sunday's matches saw both River and Boca lose - the former in circumstances rather more pathetic
than the latter, with another truly chaotic performance - whilst Huracán edged out Godoy Cruz and
Racing got a 4-1 win over Arsenal to match the score of local rivals Independiente the previous
day. All the scores and scorers [.
Monday evening's matches saw Banfield claim a 2-1 victory at home to Estudiantes, and Newell's grab
a late win by the same scoreline away to Tigre. With these results, both teams go joint top with 26
points, two ahead of champions Vélez and three ahead of Estudiantes and San Lorenzo. Colón could
go joint third [.
Completing the goal videos from the fifteenth round of action in the Torneo Apertura, we've got the
strikes from Monday evening's two matches. Argentinos and Arsenal drew 1-1, before Vélez having
given their opponents a head start with an own goal thrashed Racing 4-2. Watch all eight of the
goals right here.
In the second midweek match (the first was a couple of weeks ago) designed to prevent a fixture
pile-up for Estudiantes de La Plata due to their Club World Cup appearance in December, the
champions of South America did the same as in the last one they lost. And by defeating the Copa
Libertadores [.
On Monday evening, Newell's claimed a win over Colón only their fifth ever away to their
provincial rivals which lifts them to the top of the table hours before one of their former youth
products, Lionel Messi, was named European Footballer Of The Year (more of which on Wednesday in
Argentines Abroad).
San Lorenzo lost 2-1 to Argentinos Juniors on Saturday, and just as I type this Boca Juniors have
lost at home to Independiente by the same score. River Plate don't even play until tomorrow, but
their bitter rivals losing matches isn't the best news of the day for them. Because on Saturday
night the votes [.
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 [.
Nothing's been decided yet, but Banfield are clearly the biggest beneficiaries of the weekend.
Their win on Friday combined with later losses for both Colón (at the hands of Atlético Tucumán)
and Newell's (to Arsenal) to leave El Taladro two points clear of Newell's with two games to go.
Elsewhere, Vélez beat River with two [.
Tuesday evening saw just three goals spread across the three games: Huracán and Boca drew 0-0;
Colón beat Godoy Cruz 1-0, whilst Independiente and Argentinos Juniors drew 1-1 in Avellaneda. You
can watch all of those goals plus a couple of brief highlights of Huracán vs Boca right here.
Huracán (white) vs Boca (navy [.
The title race is going to the wire (both Banfield and Newell's will kick off at 17:00 local time
on Sunday), as is the final Copa Libertadores spot. Midweek rounds in the Argentine domestic league
always seem to be low scoring (maybe it's just my imagination, but...), and the highest scoring
match this week was [.
The goals from Saturday's matches in the final round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura are online now,
and you can watch them below. Argentinos Juniors signed off the year in style with a 5-1 thrashing
of Huracán, who after such a promising first half to the year will be glad to see the back of
[...]
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 [.
