Hasta El Gol Siempre

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 Rivadavia hosting Talleres whilst Instituto are at home to Godoy Cruz. For all the weekend’s fixtures, read on…

All kickoff times are local – add four hours for British Summer Time, subtract one for Eastern Standard Time.
