Ricardo Caruso Lombardi confirmed on Wednesday night that he’ll be Diego Cagna’s successor at Tigre, returning to the club whom he took from Primera B into the B Nacional (third to second flight) in 2005. Not such good news from the judiciary system, though: Rafael Di Zeo, the former capo of Boca Juniors’ barra brava, [...]
Estudiantes de La Plata advanced to the final of the Club World Cup on Tuesday by beating South Korea’s Pohang Steelers 2-1 in Abu Dhabi. They’ll meet either FC Barcelona of Spain, or Atlante of Mexico, in the final on Saturday. Leandro Chino Benítez got both of Estudiantes’ goals, and you can watch them here. There [...]
I really needed an early night on Monday, which is why the full scores from the final round of a wonderful Torneo Apertura didn’t go up as usual right after the last match. Monday’s two games saw only one goal – Atlético Tucumán beat Gimnasia – but you can watch it here all the same. [...]
We’ve had possibly the first transfer of the new window this week, and it involves an Argentine moving from Russia to Spain. Elsewhere Manchester City were once again rescued by Carlos Tevez; Real Madrid had their Argentines to thank for taking three points at home; Ezequiel Lavezzi had a mixed day for Napoli, and there [...]
Sunday’s matches were orderly in scoreline if nothing else: there were four 2-0 scorelines, all but one of those going to the away side (Boca, who beat Banfield 2-0, were the only home victors but their victims didn’t care because they took the title anyway). Vélez Sársfield vs Rosario Central was the sole exception – [...]
In the Estadio Florencia Sola they’re celebrating along with those in the upper tier of La Bombonera. Banfield may have lost to Boca Juniors, but for the first time in their 113 year history, they’re champions of Argentina thanks to San Lorenzo’s 2 – 0 win away to Newell’s Old Boys which ended the lingering [...]
The goals from Saturday’s matches in the final round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura are online now, and you can watch them below. Argentinos Juniors signed off the year in style with a 5-1 thrashing of Huracán, who after such a promising first half to the year will be glad to see the back of [...]
The final round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura will see the title decided along with the final Copa Libertadores qualification place. Banfield visit Boca Juniors at the same time as Newell’s host San Lorenzo, with Banfield two points ahead of the rosarinos at present. If they finish level on points, a playoff will decide the [...]
The title race is going to the wire (both Banfield and Newell’s will kick off at 17:00 local time on Sunday), as is the final Copa Libertadores spot. Midweek rounds in the Argentine domestic league always seem to be low scoring (maybe it’s just my imagination, but…), and the highest scoring match this week was [...]
The four goals from Wednesday night’s matches in the 2009 Torneo Apertura are online now. You can watch them right here – the video is only a click away. San Lorenzo (navy & red stripes) vs Lanús (maroon) Gimnasia LP (white & navy) vs Newell’s (red & black halves) Banfield (green & white stripes) vs Tigre (blue & [...] […]
Estudiantes va hoy por la gloria y la hazaña ante el Barcelona de España. El encuentro final por el Mundial de Clubes comenzará a las 13, hora de nuestro país, en el estadio Bin Zayed Sports City, de Abu Dhabi, y será dirigido por el mexicano Benito Archundia. En los Emiratos los fantasmas del equipo de Osvaldo Zubeldía están presentes en la gente que hoy bu […]
