It's time for the most ridiculous international club football competition in the world - the Copa
Sudamericana - to enter its quarter-final stage. The uniquely television-obsessed way the
tournament is organised means that invitees Boca Juniors and River Plate will play their first
matches tonight, one round later than Arsenal de Sarandí, who are the defending [.
An extra treat this week, because the goals from the lower divisions have been put online by TN as
well - something they do sometimes and not at others. For the Primera A goals of the weekend, all
twenty-two of them, including an absolutely unbelievable one from José Sand for Lanús
(the first of his [.
It's been a long two weeks away from top flight club action, but after the disappointments of the
selección's performances against Paraguay and Peru, the Primera A is back to provide us -
surely - with some good football and excitement once again. Champions River Plate have been
experimenting during the break and it's anyone's guess [.
The sixth match of the Apertura was the date preordained by River Plate manager Diego Simeone as
the day his first-choice side would finally come to life. Oh dear oh dear. River lost at home to
Vélez on Wednesday and, one third of the way through the campaign, surely can't afford any
more slip-ups if [.
The sixth round of fixtures is upon us already. Don't worry, you've not just lost five days of your
life; we're playing in midweek to catch up from the international break last week. Highlights of
this midweek round include River's quest for a decent performance continuing at home to Vélez,
a relegation clash between Godoy [.
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 [.
A simple assignment for Arsenal de Sarandí on Thursday night in their defence of the Copa
Sudamericana, and the test was passed at a canter. Having beaten Deportivo Motagua
4-0 in Sarandí in the first leg a couple of weeks ago, Daniel Garnero's defending champions
got through the second with a 2-1 win over the Hondurans in Tegucigalpa.
It's all domestic football this week. Without so much as time to take a breath, the seventh round
of the Apertura is already looming. There's an all-Sur clash between Arsenal and Banfield in
Sarandí, leaders San Lorenzo host Colón and Racing are in bad need of a win against the
newly managerless Estudiantes.
River and Boca both suffered shock defeats on Sunday, San Lorenzo won on Friday to ensure they
still top the table tonight regardless, and Vélez, who won well against Central on Saturday,
are close behind them. Racing, having seen a three match unbeaten run ended in midweek by
Huracán, got back to winnings ways against managerless [.
There were thirty goals from nine matches this weekend in Primera A (only Lanús vs.
Huracán finished goalless), including two five-goal matches, in La Bombonera and El Viaducto,
and two featuring four goals: one in Tucumán and one in El Bosque. You can watch the lot on
the TN Sportblog right here, and read on [.

It's been an interesting weekend in Primera A, with Gimnasia de Jujuy and Huracán giving us a
seven goal thriller to kick it off, Racing making it three matches unbeaten, the two promotees
sharing the spoils in Tucumán, and River stumbling again. There was also a draw in a very
heated clásico between Boca and [.

the ridiculous quality of some of the goals in the Gimnasia de Jujuy vs. Huracán thriller, not

The goals from the sixth round of the Torneo Apertura 2008 are online now, and you can watch all 30
of them, as usual, on the TN Sportblog by clicking here. Read on for the running order of this
video. Running order for TN Show de Goles: Colón (white shirts) vs. Lanús (maroon) Tigre
(blue & red) vs.
San Lorenzo lead the Apertura following Friday night's win over Colón in the Nuevo
Gasómetro, but they've got some competition, and on Saturday Vélez Sársfield
reminded them of that fact with a 2-1 victory at home to Rosario Central. El Fortín played
well after an early scare, and now sit two points back on San [.
Tuesday night's other match saw Estudiantes beat Arsenal de Sarandí 2-1 at home, thanks to a
double strike from Mauro Boselli, who continues to impress at his new club. With twenty-five
minutes remaining, Cristian Pellerano pulled one back and claimed an away goal for Arsenal with a
long range drive.
Sunday is clásico day this weekend, with River hosting Racing in the country's oldest derby
before Gimnasia visit Estudiantes - as a genuine away team, for the first time in a few years - in
the La Plata derby. Boca - who beat Newell's 4-2 in the remaining match from round two on Thursday
afternoon [.
