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 [.
After most of the Tuesday evening matches were finished, San Lorenzo are leading the way at the top
of Primera A. In spite of playing poorly in El Sur, they were leading 2-0 at half time
thanks to strikes from Néstor Silvera (pictured) and Pablo Barrientos, but saw the lead pegged
back early in the second half [.
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 [.

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 [.
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 [.
