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 →
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 [.
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 [.
No, not in the Primera. Sunday saw the first competitive football of 2010 in Argentina, but it
didn't come in the form of a particularly tasty Torneo de Verano match. The Torneos del Interior,
the third division of the non-affiliated Torneos Argentinos, kicked off this weekend. There'll be
matches stretching from the Bolivian borderlands right [.
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 [.
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 goal videos from both Saturday's and Sunday's matches will be online on Monday evening
Saturday's haven't been posted here yet because I've had a rather dislocated weekend. The weekend's
games saw the champions start where they left off or rather not, since Banfield's title was won in
spite of a loss in [.
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 [.
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 [.
Having stayed up too late tonight waiting to be able to type this post up, the four teams in action
on Monday were most inconsiderate to England-based Argentine football bloggers by not bothering to
score a single bloody one between them. Godoy Cruz join Vélez at the top of the infant Clausura
table on seven [.
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 [.
Monday night's match between Argentinos Juniors and Newell's Old Boys in La Paternal was called off
28 minutes into the second half due to truly torrential rain making the pitch completely unplayable
(not to mention rendering the TV cameras near blind). It's another postponed game for Argentinos,
who already have to play 82 minutes of [.
There were plenty of draws in the fifth round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura, with only Friday
offering goals in any real measure, but here you can see the heroes and villains from all the
fixtures, including a not-so-happy 18th anniversary for Matías Almeyda who was (he thought
harshly) sent off on the day his [.
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.
The clásico fell Independiente's way in spite of a better than usual performance from Racing; some
people's luck never changes. The semi-clásico between Huracán and Vélez went the way of El Globo
this time, to put a spanner in the impressive start to the year the visitors have made. Diego
Simeone upset a few people [.
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 [.
In Thursday evening's clásico, River Plate beat San Lorenzo to record their first win since the
second round, thanks to a finish from teenager Facundo Affranchino with quarter of an hour
remaining. Banfield beat Colón 3-1 with Rubén Ramírez hitting two fine goals, Gimnasia won away
to Chacarita Juniors and Atlético Tucumán vs Newell's finished [.
Apologies that these didn't go up sooner. The national side's match and my not getting home until
very late indeed a couple of nights running put paid to being able to maintain HEGS as well as I
would've liked for a few days. Now, at least, the goals from the remaining eight midweek league
matches [.
On Saturday, 6th March 2010, Racing Club de Avellaneda gained a new supporter. How much the players
know about it I can't say. But at 3:40pm HEGS reader and my good friend Seba welcomed his first son
into the world. As if by way of celebration, a couple of hours later, Racing visited Boca Juniors
[..
As I type Atlético Tucumán vs Banfield is goalless during the second half, and I won't be staying
up late enough to wait for the goal videos to go online. Earlier on Sunday, though, there've been a
few already, in steadily decreasing numbers. The day's first match, between Huracán and Tigre, saw
five with [.
Monday's matches saw home wins for San Lorenzo and Arsenal, and a 1-1 draw between Gimnasia La
Plata and Rosario Central. At the end of the eighth round, Independiente are two points clear of
Godoy Cruz at the top of the table, with Banfield a further point back and a host of others one
more [...]
Friday night saw Vélez Sársfield win by a single goal at home to Lanús, before Godoy Cruz
returned to the top of the table with a stoppage time winner against Atlético Tucumán which came
courtesy of Gonzalo Higuaín's elder brother, Federico. Having left Independiente for the
mendocinos after last year's Clausura, Higuaín is now playing [.
River Plate and Boca Juniors had contrasting warm-ups at the weekend to next week's superclásico.
River not only won a match but kept a clean sheet against Huracán, and shortly afterwards Carlos
'Chino' Luna gave Boca the runaround, finishing with a hat trick as Tigre beat their illustrious
visitors 3-0.
Tuesday night's second match concerning an Argentine side in the Copa Libertadores ended too late
for me to get the goal video online, so here you can find highlights of Vélez Sársfield's 1-1
draw away to Chile's Colo-Colo. Vélez got a point thanks to a late equaliser in spite of a
dubiously disallowed effort from [.
Friday evening saw the weekend start with a bang thanks to two fine goals from Huracán, scored by
Gino Clara and Paolo Goltz, to defeat Chacarita Juniors 2-0 in the Estadio Tomás A. Ducó. Shortly
after, in Tucumán, Mauro Boselli scored twice for Estudiantes to give a former club of his some
joy as well [.
Saturday was a day of plenty of draws in the Primera División, but there was one loser, and as
ever it was Racing. La Academia lost out to Lanús by a single goal, scored by Sebastián Blanco
with just over quarter of an hour left. The other three matches were all score draws: 2-2 between
[...]
Following the farcical attempt to play the superclásico in front of the world's television
cameras, it seems that all would've been fine had it been moved to Avellaneda; scarcely four miles
away from La Bombonera, the Estadio Libertadores de América saw Independiente claim a 2-0 win over
Rosario Central which ensures they remain ensconced at [.
In what remained from Sunday of the Torneo Clausura match between Boca Juniors and River Plate, it
was Boca's Chilean midfielder / defender Gary Medel who was the key figure. Medel scored twice one
in each half before being sent off for a second yellow card. Full highlights will be up later in [.
The extended highlights from Thursday's superclásico are online now, and you can watch them right
here. Enjoy. Boca Juniors 2 0 River Plate (25th March 2010): You can follow the Clausura and the
Argentine sides in the 2010 Copa Libertadores via HEGS on Twitter (including updates during and
between matches and similar stories that might not [.
