The second round of the Torneo Clausura is upon us already, played in midweek so as to get ahead on
things with the Copa Libertadores coming up and the need to finish the championship in time for the
break prior to the World Cup. Estudiantes take on Gimnasia in the clásico platense on Wednesday,
Racing [.
Round 10 only ended on Thursday afternoon, but already the eleventh round of the Torneo Clausura
arrives this evening. Godoy Cruz will be hoping to crank up the pressure on leaders Independiente
when they visit Estudiantes de La Plata in the weekend's first match, which might be their toughest
assignment yet Estudiantes themselves would [.
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 [.
The fifteenth round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura features not one but two clásicos, both played on
Sunday. By the time they swing round, any of Godoy Cruz, Independiente or Estudiantes will have had
the chance to claim the leadership in the chase for the league title I'll be at River vs Godoy on
[.
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 [.
After the madness and midweek distraction of the World Cup preliminary squad list, it's back to
business for one last push in the domestic league: the final round of a nailbiting 2010 Torneo
Clausura is upon us, and either Estudiantes ... Continue reading →
The first round of matches in the 2010 Torneo Clausura is upon us tonight, at last. A full preview
of the tournament will follow over or shortly after the weekend I've been tied up during the week
writing about Salvador Cabañas's shooting in Mexico (HEGS naturally wishes him well). The closest
thing to a [.
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 [.
Click here to view photo full size on Flickr For some reason, goal videos from a couple of this
weekend's matches haven't been uploaded to TV Pública's YouTube channel, but what we do have once
again is a single video with all the weekend's goals. You can watch all 22 of them right here,
[...]
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 [.
The third round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura begins a day later than usual this weekend, due to the
midweek matches for the second round. It will run from Saturday afternoon until Monday night, and
at the end of it a league table will hopefully be up on HEGS for the first time in far [...]
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 [.
It's all go in Argentina, with not so much as a day's break from football since last Friday, and
now the domestic league recommences after the midweek Copa Libertadores action. This weekend,
Banfield host Lanús in the clásico del Sur, Racing visit Gimnasia in a critical relegation clash,
and San Lorenzo vs Vélez is 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 [.
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 [.
This weekend sees Racing take on San Lorenzo in the year's first competitive clásico between
members of the cinco grandes. Also coming up in the next few days, champions Banfield host Rosario
Central, Gimnasia visit Tigre and on Monday night an Estudiantes side smarting from last night's
thrashing in the Copa Libertadores will be looking [.
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 [.
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 [.
The biggest match of the weekend takes place on Saturday, when Racing travel the couple of hundred
yards to the new Estadio Libertadores de América to take on Independiente in the clásico de
Avellaneda. Boca Juniors, bizarrely, are in action on Friday night, against Estudiantes. Joint
leaders Vélez and Colón are away to Huracán and [.
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 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 [.
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 [.
The 2010 Torneo Clausura gathers apace. Round 7 finished on Thursday, and round 8 begins today with
a clásico as Racing visit Boca in La Bombonera. Nearly halfway through the championship, the
mendocinos of Godoy Cruz still lead the table (!), and they visit Newell's Old Boys, who with a win
and the right results [.
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 [...]
This weekend begins with leaders Vélez hosting struggling Lanús, and ends on Sunday evening when
Argentinos Juniors visit El Cilindro take on Racing. Boca play Tigre hard to believe that under 18
months ago this was a title-decider and Estudiantes, fresh back from their latest Copa Libertadores
exploits in Bolivia, are at home [.
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.
At the start of every torneo corto, I know I'm going to get at least two or three emails from
prospective holiday-makers in Buenos Aires asking 'when's the superclásico happening?' and so it
is that this weekend, the most eagerly-awaited fixture in the Argentine domestic calendar will
dominate the proceedings.
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 [.
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 [.
Argentinos Juniors handed out a 1-0 defeat to River Plate as visitors on Monday night, giving the
Millonario faithful even more cause for misery, to draw a close to the eleventh round of the 2010
Torneo Clausura. All the scores and scorers are right here as ever, along with the goal video from
River vs [.
It might be Easter weekend, and Sunday might be my birthday as well as the big day itself, but the
AFA don't even stop for me (or Jesus). The leaders Independiente host Arsenal in a sort-of
clásico, second-placed Godoy Cruz will be hoping to get back to winning ways at home to Vélez
Sársfield, and [.
Friday evening's matches furnished us without any goals to view, after the first formed a dull
birthday present for one of the managers and the second was called off in an utter downpour with
the score still at 0-0.Huracán vs Colón was played on this, Antonio Mohamed's 40th birthday,
but the Colón boss formerly [.
Sunday's matches saw another loss for River Plate and Godoy Cruz kept up the chase at the top
following Independiente's win on Saturday. The big story though has been Boca Juniors' 2-1 loss to
Central, during which Juan Román Riquelme was sent off for badmouthing the referee after Central's
second goal.
Most of the goals, that is, because I didn't find the time to post Wednesday's up. As such, all the
goals from Wednesday and Thursday's matches are online now here on HEGS, along with an interesting
set of results. Both Independiente and Central lost, but their pursuers respectively, Godoy Cruz in
the race for [.
Coverage of the fourteenth round of the Torneo Clausura here on HEGS has already been, and will
again be, a little delayed due to various farewells I'm making here in England prior to my flight
to Buenos Aires on Wednesday. So bear with me, and forgive me for not having got these fixtures
online before [.
The normal goal video post isn't happening tonight, because Sunday saw three matches in the Torneo
Clausura, but no goals at all. Only one team could pretend to be happy about this: River Plate drew
0-0 with Atlético Tucumán to bring to an end a run of four straight defeats. At the same time
though, [.
Monday's matches saw a lot of goals in unexpected places. Godoy Cruz went top of the table with an
uncharacteristic 6-2 thrashing of Tigre, and not only were there four goals in La Bombonera but
wait for it they were all scored by the hosts! Added joy was given by the fact that [...]
