River Plate defeated Olimpo by 2-1 for the eighteenth round of the Torneo Clausura 2008. Due to a combination of both this and Estudiantes' goal-less draw with Colon, "los Millonarios" were able to lift their 33rd Argentine League trophy.

River played an overall good game. Diego Simeone's team was able to go up 1-0 in the first half, after Diego Buonanotte successfully scored a previously-prepared set-piece.

River Plate tied 0-0 with Independiente on Sunday, finishing the match with a score that pretty much sums up the 90 minutes played between the two. The lack of clear chances created by the team, as well as their inability to play well against the "big" teams, is starting to raise a concern within the general fanbase.

River Plate returned to victory after two weeks by defeating Gimnasia (LP) by 4-2 for the the 14th Round of the Torneo Clausura 2008.

To make things worse after the mid-week elimination in the hands of San Lorenzo, "los Millonarios" began losing the match. Things could have gotten even worse, though the posts were on our side and prevented 3 clear opportunities from being transformed into goals.

River Plate lost to Boca Juniors by 1-0 in the 13th Round of the Torneo Clausura 2008. Unfortunately, the team lost more than just a Superclasico: a victory would have left River with 3 points more than Estudiantes (who lost 2-1 vs. Argentinos Jrs.) and 7 more than Boca. Since the Xeneizes won, "los millonarios" are now sharing the first place spot with Estudiantes and San Lorenzo, with Boca just one point away from the trio. Click to continue reading...

River will be playing Argentinos Juniors tomorrow, in what will be the beginning of the most difficult and exciting weeks of the year thus far: after tomorrow's game, we will be facing San Lorenzo for the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday, and then Boca Juniors for the Torneo Clausura.

Juan Pablo Carrizo;Danilo Gerlo-Gustavo Cabral-Nicolas Sanchez-Cristian Villagra;Leonardo Ponzio-Matías Abelairas;Mauro Rosales-Alexis Sanchez-Diego Buonanotte; Radamel Falcao Garcia
Meanwhile, other key players like Paulo Ferrari (also has 4 yellows), Ariel Ortega, and Sebastian Abreu will all be on the bench waiting patiently for their chance.

River lost to Rosario Central by 2-1, and therefore lost their unbeaten streak in the Torneo Clausura 2008. Despite initially being up 1-0 thanks to Diego Buonanotte, the home side were able to flip the score with goals by Emilio Zelaya and Martin Arzuaga.

I missed the game, but it is said to have been a good one.

River Plate defeated Lanus by 1-0 in a victory that means more than 3 points: it means rising to the top, with 1 point more than Estudiantes and 4 more than Boca (the two tied this weekend vs. Arsenal and Banfield, respectively).

The match wasn't too entertaining, but River deserved the victory and were successful in obtaining it.

River Plate defeated Arsenal de Sarandi yesterday, leaving "los Millonarios" alone at the top of the table. The final score was 1-0, with Rodrigo Archubi scoring the only goal of the night. Despite that, River failed to impress a single spectator who witnessed the match.

The game was slow, with neither of the two sides looking to bring something new to the pitch and defer from each other.

River Plate defeated Velez Sarsfield with a final scoreline of 2-0 to efficiently climb the table and reach the first place spot.

The goals were scored by Alexis Sanchez and Radamel Falcao Garcia. "Los Millonarios" were the much better side of the two in the first half, and the partial score could have in fact been much greater.

River Plate finalized the remaining 13 minutes of their match vs. San Martin (SJ), with the partial 3-2 score now becoming permanent.

San Martin (SJ) went out with an offensive proposal, though they did not find too many clear chances. River, on the other hand, had less opportunities to score. Despite that, the clearest shot of the match arrived on behalf of Mauro Rosales towards the end of the game.

River Plate presented the team's new jersey earlier on today, with two very important footbalistic figures as the main characters of the event: Enzo Francescoli and Zinedine Zidane.

The jersey (pictured above) is not too different from our previous one and will be used for the next two years. The few differences I noticed are the following:

- The diagonal stripe ends a bit more in the center, causing the team emblem to be right on top of it.

Neither River Plate nor Racing Club were not able to find the net in an encounter played in the Estadio Monumental, which finished 0-0. Of the two sides, the one that was generally distinguished as the best side was the home team (River), due to having many more chances and actually looking to get ahead. Click to continue reading...

Neither River Plate nor Estudiantes were able to find the net in last night's encounter between the two, held in El Estadio Unico de La Plata.

The match was rather unentertaining, though the home side was much closer to initializing an open score in the first half as opposed to "los millonarios".

After a surprising 3-2 lead (surprising in the sense that we weren't winning by more), the match between River Plate and San Martin (SJ) was called off with 9 minutes remaining. The reason behind this was excessive amount of rain, which did not allow the players to run with the ball - literally.

River's goals were scored by Sebastian Abreu, Diego Buonanotte, and Cristian Nasuti.

River Plate is currently preparing to receive San Martin (SJ) in the Monumental Stadium for the 4th Round of the Torneo Clausura 2008. After losing 1-0 against the same team last season, "los millonarios" will be looking to find revenge and also stay up in the fight for the tournament.

Simeone has decided that it's time for the rotation to commence, and therefore has decided to give some players rest.

River Plate managed to pull off a convincing win over San Lorenzo yesterday, thanks to goalscorers Radamel Falcao Garcia and Matias Abelairas. The team may have not played pure attractive football throughout the 90 minutes, but they did show an organized and competitive scheme that clearly made River deserve the three points.

River Plate will be facing San Lorenzo tomorrow in what will be the team's third appearance in the Torneo Clausura 2008.

After two games played, "los millonarios" currently hold 4 points (1 win and 1 tie). Think River didn't exactly get off to the perfect start? Think again.. After looking at San Lorenzo's start of the season, our partial records look glorious: they played 4 games (two for the Clausura, and two for the Libertadores), lost 3, and tied 1.

River Plate finished the second round of the Torneo Clausura 2008 with a total of 4 of a possible 6 points. After defeating Gimnasia (JJ) last week, we tied 0-0 in a rather unimpressive match vs. Newell's Old Boys.

Although there were slight improvements as compared to our loss vs. San Martin in the Copa Libertadores, the team still failed to impress fans and has yet to succeed in portraying Diego Simeone's offensive tactics.

River Plate defeated Gimnasia de Jujuy in our opening match of the Torneo Clausura 2008, with a final result of 2-0. The goals were scored by Matias Abelairas and Paulo Ferrari, both off of set pieces.

In the first half, River did not leave an overall good image. With Gimnasia's defensive tactical scheme (8 players defending, 2 attacking), it was hard for the team to find open spaces.

River Plate will be debuting in the Torneo Clausura 2008 tomorrow against Gimnasia (Jujuy). Hopes are high, and although no one can be fully confident on the team after last year's failures, it would be a lie to claim that one is not excited about Simeone's proposal of an attractive offensive football display.

The 2008 Torneo Clausura kicks off at long last following the summer break on Friday evening, with Lanús aiming to defend the title they won so improbably back in December, whilst the likes of Boca will be wanting to get back to winning ways.
