Apertura ‘08: Round 5 goals

0
The goals from the weekend just gone are online now, and you can see them on the TN Sportblog by clicking here. As per usual, you'll find the running order of this clip (worth watching if only for the ridiculous quality of some of the goals in the Gimnasia de Jujuy vs. Huracán thriller, not [...] Click to continue reading...

Ascenso roundup

0
There may have been no matches in Primera A the weekend just gone, but the lower divisions carried on as normal, unaffected by the performances (or otherwise) of the world's national teams. Now, then, seems as good a time as any to have a quick look at how the first month or so of lower [...] Click to continue reading...

Same old story

4
HEGS is back, but it feels, I must say, a bit like I hadn't really been away. When I left for Havana, Sergio Batista had named Lionel Messi in the squad for the Olympic Football Tournament, and Barcelona president Joan Laporta was making some decidedly 'we'll have to see about that'-type noises. The novel seems [. Click to continue reading...

All the ups and downs

0
With the completion at the weekend of the Promociónes, the 2007-2008 season is now complete in Argentina. Racing, of course, are the most notable survivors of the relegations playoffs, but there have been shocks in other divisions with little-fancied All Boys winning the Primera B championship, and Nueva Chicago losing their playoff to fall down [.

Back at the top table, and a faint glimmer of light…?

0
San Martín de San Juan might be in the automatic relegation zone with just three matches left of the Primera A season, but another high-altitude club with the same name will be in the top flight in Argentina next season, after San Martín de Tucumán drew 2-2 with Chacarita Juniors to confirm promotion.

Lower division roundup

Unión de Santa Fé beat Chacarita Juniors by a solitary goal on Sunday to derail the visitors' hopes of moving into the top two of B Nacional, and instead took second place for themselves. Juan José Serrizuela's 41st minute header separated the sides, to make up for Rubén Ferrer having two earlier goals disallowed (the first incorrectly). Click to continue reading...

Lower division roundup

Yes, it returns at last, a week or two later than promised, for which I apologise - here's what's been happening in the AFA-affiliated lower divisions! Monday night saw Chacarita Juniors hold on to third place in the B Nacional, as they beat Atlético Rafaela 1-0 in La Paternal to end a run of five matches [. Click to continue reading...

Lower division results

My initial intention was to post this last night, but illness put paid to that, so apologies to anyone who got excited when reading about the return of this feature on Sunday's post. Primeras C and D were still in action on the weekend of the 15th December, so step this way for the results [...] Click to continue reading...

Lower division results

As the least widely-read of the site's weekly features, I hope those who do use this update will forgive me for curtailing it during my few weeks 'doing' Spain. Scores will be given without scorers, but I'll try and include the normal links to the lower division scores as often as possible. In B Nacional [...] Click to continue reading...

Lower division results

The latest rounds of matches in Argentina's lower divisions are staggered and some won't be fully completed until Tuesday, but here you'll find the results thus far for B Nacional, and links to those from the other divisions (which pages will be updated as and when the remaining scores come in). In B Nacional, there [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘07: round 9 fixtures

2
Primera A sees the clásico rosarino on Sunday as Newell's, without a win in three, host Central, without a win at all this season, in El Coloso del Parque. Vélez visit Racing and two of the newly-promoted sides meet as Huracán host San Martín. In B Nacional, Ferro take on Almirante Brown on Friday. Step this way [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘07: round 7 fixtures

2
It's that time of week again. Round 7 of the Apertura is upon us, with River vs. Vélez probably acting as the round's standout fixture, although it'll be interesting to see how Huracán get on under caretaker managership, as they host Gimnasia. In B Nacional, the theme is very much Mendoza vs. Córdoba, with Independiente [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘07: round 6 scores and scorers

3
Another round is over, and we've seen the last undefeated record in the top flight (Huracán's) fall, other promoted sides claim important points and a clásico that finished all square and left no-one really satisfied. Notable results in the lower divisions were Aldosivi's demolition job against Independiente Rivadavia and Talleres' win over Instituto in this [. Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘07: round 6 fixtures

3
Midweek matches are very disorienting. No sooner have we recovered from the glut of goals in round 5, than round 6 arrives to dizzy us all again. This weekend's main clash in the top flight is the clásico between Racing and River, which is set to see mass protests from the home fans at the [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘07: week 4 roundup

2
It's been quite a weekend whilst I've been away, with 25 goals, a shock win for one of the newly promoted sides, Independiente maintaining their 100% start to the season, a late penalty at La Bombonera and another good away win for Banfield. In the lower divisions, Belgrano ran out victorious in the Córdoba derby, [...] Click to continue reading...

Apertura ‘07: week 4 fixtures

The fourth round of the Torneo Apertura is upon us, as well as a fresh lot of fixtures in the lower leagues. The main highlight of this weekend in the clash of last season's two champions: Apertura winners Estudiantes host Clausura champions San Lorenzo. In B Nacional, meanwhile, the Córdoba derby sees Instituto take on [...] Click to continue reading...

The return of a hero

3
Atlanta have had a funny time lately. In 1991, they were declared bankrupt and the board only regained control of the club's social venues in December of last year. Since then they've had a big job to do in beginning the construction of a new stadium and putting together a team which can win back what the [...] Click to continue reading...

Lower division results

The lastest round of fixtures in the lower divisions are nearly all done and dusted already this week, only one game still to be played as this story went online, the Primera B match between Central Córdoba de Rosario and Atlanta. The first round of Argentino A saw a big win for 9 de Julio, [...] Click to continue reading...

The third round of fixtures in the Primera A Apertura, and the second round of Primera B Nacional fixtures, will be played this weekend, and can be seen (along with the other AFA-affiliated divisions) here.

The first and second weekends (depending which divisions we're talking about) of the season in the lower leagues are almost completed now, with only Deportivo Morón's home match against Brown de Adrogué left to play, on Wednesday evening. Aside from that match, for all the scores from the second, third, fourth and fifth divisions, step [...] Click to continue reading...
