The full fixtures for the Primera División A Torneo Clausura 2009 were released by the
AFA a little while ago, and now I've got a weekend when (relatively) little is happening to
write about on HEGS, here's the full fixture list for the season. Primera División A Torneo
Clausura 2009: Round 1 (8th Feb) Club Atlético Huracán vs [.
For some reason, the fifth round of the Torneo Clausura begins on a Thursday, so here, 24 hours
earlier than normal, is the weekend's fixture list. Sunday's clásico sees Independiente host
Boca Juniors, whilst San Martín play a crucial relegation clash on Thursday in Mendoza. Racing
will be hoping Tigre don't get their claws back [.
The final weekend of the 2009 Torneo Clausura is upon us at last, and it's going to be a dramatic
one. Racing and Newell's celebrate having nothing to play for to kick things off on Friday night,
whilst Saturday sees Central take on Godoy Cruz in a match that could be vital to next season's
[...]
Ah, it's been a while. Defending champions Boca begin at altitude in Jujuy on Sunday evening, a
situation Diego Maradona isn't happy about (the time, rather than the location); two of the
Apertura finalists give us the first match of the season as San Lorenzo visit Tigre, and
Independiente play their first 'home' match at [.
The second round of Apertura fixtures is upon us already. Apologies that this post didn't go out as
usual at midday GMT, but my internet providers have been having server issues and although I
thought I was online when I pressed the button to schedule this post last night, I'd evidently lost
my connection.
Vélez Sársfield visit Gimnasia La Plata on Saturday hoping to extend their lead at the top of the
Primera División table, with second-placed Lanús set to host Rosario Central the night before, in
Friday's second match. Even when they're seventh in the table, every Racing match is a relegation
decider, but if they beat San [.
Leaders Lanús host Diego Simeone's San Lorenzo in a clash of ideologies on Saturday.
Independiente's slimmed-down squad take on Rosario Central in a match that could be key to the
relegation fight, especially if El Rojo decide to lie down in order to make things tighter for
rivals Racing (mind you, how will we tell [.
Back to the league after the thrills and spills of the international break. Three matches remain,
and this weekend the endgame gets going with two clásicos on Sunday one in La Bombonera, where San
Lorenzo will be the 'home' side, and one in Avellaneda between Racing and Boca. The clash between
River and Tigre [.
The final round of matches in the Torneo Clausura 2009 gets underway on Friday, prior to the
elections which will paralyse Argentina sufficiently over the rest of the weekend for most of the
matches to be played next week. AFA President Julio Grondona's two favourite clubs play today, and
will then go off on their [.
Our Argentine readers will no doubt want to put the midweek international to the backs of their
minds as quickly as possible, and the AFA are obliging them by getting league action back underway
post haste. Friday night sees second-placed Colón visit fifth-placed Huracán, whilst Vélez vs
Banfield on Saturday should be a good one.
The eleventh round of the 2009 Torneo Clausura pitches two of the title contenders against each
other in Santa Fe - the winner of Colón vs Vélez will finish the weekend on top of the table
(unless it's Colón and Lanús do something unspeakable to Godoy Cruz in Mendoza). Argentinos boss
Claudio Vivas is playing [.
There are no Friday night games this weekend, sadly, but since the fixtures go up on HEGS at the
same time every week, here they are per usual for you to plan your weekend around. There's a
half-derby in El Cilindro and a match in Tucumán which will prove important at both ends of the
[...]
There's one clásico to look forward to this weekend, as San Lorenzo host River Plate in what
will be a bit of a revenge match for the Apertura game in the Monumental, when Sebastián
Méndez tried to kill Radamel Falco García. Independiente manager Pepe Santoro turned 67
on Thursday, and will be hoping his side [.
The Primera A's two sets of 'Juniors' clash in La Bombonera on Sunday evening; league leaders
Lanús host Colón, who are only a point behind them but, thanks to the Promedio, have a
relegation battle as well as a title tilt to motivate them at the moment. Vélez host River on
Saturday. Any of those [.
There's a relegation clash on Saturday as Godoy Cruz host Gimnasia La Plata, and a potential needle
match between the champions and the minnows who came so close to upsetting them in December, when
Tigre and Boca meet in Victoria. Elsewhere, Racing midfielder Claudio Yacob insists his side's
match with Estudiantes this weekend is more [.
In Ricardo Caruso Lombardi's world, Vélez Sársfield vs Racing this weekend is a title-deciding
match. Since he took over at the Avellaneda club they have, incredibly, picked up the same number
of points as the current league leaders. Something's got to give on Saturday. Elsewhere there are
clásicos in the Nuevo Gasómetro (whose predecessor, the [.
Two clásicos this weekend, with Banfield hosting Lanús and River Plate at home to Independiente
in a meeting of two sides who both badly need a win at the moment. Vélez second in the title
running - are at home to Boca, who'll be desperate to get back to winning ways after Thursday
night's Copa Libertadores [.
The fixtures for the 2010 Torneo Clausura have been available on the AFA's website for a couple of
weeks, but now the Apertura is well over and there's precious little else going on, it seems an
appropriate time to post them up in English here. All the dates given correspond to the Sunday of
each [..
The third round of matches in the 2009 Clausura begins on Friday night with both Gimnasias in
action, prior to Saturday's clásico de Avellaneda which, for a change, has an afternoon kick
off time. On Sunday Lanús host Boca Juniors, Marcelo Gallardo is expected to start on the
bench for River Plate at home to [.
No clásicos this weekend - San Lorenzo hosting Vélez will be the closest we get, with the home
side having just been knocked out of the Copa and lost their manager as a result - but there are a
couple of crucial ties, not least in Rosario, where Central host Racing in a game that [...]
