Torneo Apertura 2009: round 13 scores and scorers

Posted on Monday, 9 November 2009 by hastaelgolsiempre

The thirteenth round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura ended on Monday night with a late, late goal from Arsenal de Sarandí midfielder Diego Galván which clinched a point for El Arse after they’d trailed for practically the entire second half to Huracán. Angel Cappa’s team were thus denied a third win of the campaign. All the heroes and villains are here as ever…

Banfield and Estudiantes keep up the pressure

Posted on Monday, 9 November 2009 by hastaelgolsiempre
Estudiantes 3-0 Vélez

Mauro Boselli celebrates Estudiantes' second goal

Following Newell’s Old Boys’ victory over River Plate on Saturday, the other sides hoping to keep up in the race for the title had to win on Sunday, and two of them managed it. Banfield overcame San Lorenzo 1-0 in Boedo for their first win away to El Cuervo in 13 years, and Estudiantes brushed aside Vélez Sársfield 3-0 in the clash of continental and domestic champions. In the last match of the weekend (but not of the round), Colón dropped off the pace slightly – they could only manage a faltering 0-0 draw in La Bombonera against Boca Juniors.

Joaquín Boghossian's double sends Newell's top

Boghossian's double sends Newell's top

Saturday’s matches saw Newell’s Old Boys return to the top of the table with a 2-1 home win over River Plate in which, not for the first time, Diego Buonanotte gave the visitors their only joy of the match. A little later, Atlético Tucumán ended a run of eight matches without a win, thrashing Tigre 4-2 at the Monumental José Fierro. Oh, and Racing lost again, 3-1 away in Mendoza this time.

Posted on Friday, 6 November 2009 by hastaelgolsiempre

The thirteenth round of the Torneo Apertura sees the first weekend round to hang over to Monday night (not counting the twelfth round which lasted through til Tuesday due to the previous round only having finished on the Thursday before). Joint leaders Newell’s and Banfield are at home River and away to San Lorenzo respectively, Colón visit Boca Juniors and champions Vélez – in action as I type this away to Liga de Quito in the Copa Sudamericana (goal videos later on Friday) – visit Estudiantes. Racing will be hoping to drag Godoy Cruz a little closer to the relegation struggle in the Promedio.

Tigre 1-2 Newell's

Roberto Sensini points the way for his team as Newell's go top

Monday evening’s matches saw Banfield claim a 2-1 victory at home to Estudiantes, and Newell’s grab a late win by the same scoreline away to Tigre.

Colón could go joint third with Vélez if they beat Huracán on Tuesday night in the last match of round 11. Joaquín Boghossian had a mixed night for Newell’s whilst Banfield vs Estudiantes featured three true golazos. You can catch them here.

Early on Sunday morning, violence once again reared its head in the world of Argentine football, when Fernando Cáceres – Independiente’s reserve team coach and a former Argentina international – was shot by robbers, taking a bullet in his right eye. At the time of writing, he continues in the Carrillo Hospital in Ciudadela Doctor Rodrigo Bau informed the press that, ‘the patient arrived in a coma.’

Torneo Apertura 2009: round 12 fixtures / scores

Posted on Sunday, 1 November 2009 by hastaelgolsiempre

The twelfth round of the Torneo Apertura 2009 got underway on Saturday, and I’m afraid to say, following the midweek round of matches and the fact I was out on Friday night, that it caught me out. On Saturday, champions Vélez hosted and brushed aside Godoy Cruz, before Racing – Racing! – gave Atlético Tucumán an absolute pasting, 4-0. In the last match of the day San Lorenzo, who’ve had their fair share of last-minute winners in 2009, got a taste of their own medicine, as Gimnasia got a stoppage time equaliser to draw 2-2 in El Bosque. All the remaining fixtures for the twelfth round – which runs through until Tuesday night – are right here.

Argentina squad to face Spain

Posted on Saturday, 31 October 2009 by hastaelgolsiempre

On the 14th November Diego Maradona’s Argentina will face Spain in Atlético de Madrid’s Estadio Vicente Calderón in a friendly as the first part of their preparation for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. On Friday, Maradona named his squad for the match, which will consist solely of players playing for clubs outside Argentina, and will include both Maxi Rodríguez and Sergio Agüero, who play their club football for Atlético. Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez, Liverpool’s Javier Mascherano and the in-form Benfica pair Ángel Di María and Pablo Aimar (but still not Javier Saviola) are also included, as for the first time under Maradona is Internazionale’s Esteban Cambiasso.
