14.03.2012 - Rosario Central venció (2-0) a Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy y sigue prendido en
el cuarteto dominador del Nacional B. Con el partido ya definido, a dos minutos del final, Juan
Antonio Pizzi (DT), mandó a la cancha al defensor Matías Lequi. Fue sorpresa para
algunos (incluso el árbitro): Lequi no había salido como titular porque se encuentra lesionado.
11.10.2011 - Hace apenas 6 meses Villa Crespo se embriagaba al compás de bombos y platillos
cuando el Bohemio, Atlanta, se consagraba campeón de la B Metropolitana (4 fechas antes) y
volvía, después de 12 años, a la segunda categoría del fútbol argentino (B Nacional).
Hace un mes retratábamos una mañana de sábado, en la que su gente llenaba gradas a la
espera del primer triunfo, que llegó una semana después (2-1 a Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, fecha
8).
24.09.2011 - Wilde - Fresquitas fotos de Villa Crespo, donde esta mañana Atlanta recibía a
Defensa y Justicia por la 7º fecha del Nacional B, para nuestra sección "Fútbol Urbano".
Un barrio en frenética actividad comercial, al borde de la avenida Corrientes, dejaba espacio para
la convocatoria bohemia.
05.11.2011 - Con goles de Fernando Cavenaghi (´24, ´50, ´68 y ´90), River venció
(1-4) a Gimnasia y Esgrima (Jujuy) y volvió (provisoriamente) a la punta del Nacional B,
reponiéndose de la reciente pérdida de su invicto (vs Aldosivi).
River jugaba mejor pero sólo pudo abrir el marcador luego de que el árbitro, Pablo Lunati, lo
favoreciera con un insólito penal (´24).
05.10.2011 - Había ganado Gimnasia de Jujuy, había ganado Instituto, River tenía que
ganar para recuperar la punta... y ganó... 7 a 1, con goles de Aguirre (13'),
Cavenaghi (19', 56', 58'), Ocampos (44'), Bordagaray (72') y Ríos
(84') a un pálido Atlanta en el Nuevo Gasómetro (San Lorenzo).
26.09.2011 - Con nueva camiseta y goles de Rogelio Funes Mori (´48) y Juan
Manuel Díaz (´68), Ríver derrotó (2-0) a Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata como local en el Nuevo
Gasómetro (San Lorenzo) y volvió a la punta del Nacional B.
Las circunstancias y las voces exigían una victoria.

Hace cuatro años, más precisamente desde el 3 de julio de 2007, que los simpatizantes visitantes
no podían ir a una cancha ajena. Esta tarde en la AFA, mediante Ricardo Casal (ministro de
Seguridad y Justicia de Buenos Aires) y Julio Grondona, Presidente de la entidad, se determinó la
vuelta de dicho público, al menos en la "B" Nacional.
El matutino y caminante porteño se encontró hoy con el clásico y
primer pantallazo informativo a través de las tapas de los diarios: "AFA", "torneos", "gobierno" y
"Ríver". Más allá de tendencias y tonos catástrofes, el porteño (cada porteño) ya tiene su
tesis.
Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata jugará su tercera Promoción de manera consecutiva, gracias a la
victoria que consiguió en el desempate frente a Huracán. Pareciera que las definiciones por la
permanencia le sientan bien al "Lobo", porque las dos anteriores que jugó las ganó.

Early in the second half of an Argentine second division match between Boca Unidos and Gimnasia, the referee was hit square in the chest with a rock thrown from the stands. Trailing 1-0 to the visiting Gimnasia, Boca Unidos fans were angered further by the referee's decision to show one of their players a red card.
ZONARAYADA tuvo una plática en exclusiva con la gimnasta neolonés Ana Lago, quién nos mostró su amor por los colores albiazules.
Ana Estefanía Lago Serna, oriunda de Santiago, Nuevo León, pero forjada y con elmayor entrenamiento en Monterrey, es hoy en día parte fundamental de la gimnasia mexicana, siendo una de las mejores exponentes de este deporte en el país.
Hace más o menos un mes, River pensaba en pelearle el título a Vélez, en conseguir un lugar en
la Copa Sudamericana 2011 y, porque no, también en la Libertadores del próximo año. Pero no es
menor el dato que de los últimos seis partidos, el conjunto "Millonario" apenas ganó uno, contra
Racing.
