The Uruguayan press are today up in arms over Defensor Sporting’s failure to get past River Plate in the Copa Sudamericana on Tuesday night, and it seems they’ve got every right to be. River played very poorly, allowed the visitors a good half-dozen clear scoring chances, but an inspired performance from Juan Pablo Carrizo, and [...]

…The end of my trip round Spain, at least. And, just possibly, for Juan Román Riquelme’s freezing-out of Villarreal’s first team. But definitely not for Juan Pablo Sorín’s career, according to the man himself, and neither for both River’s and Boca’s challenges for international honours.

There’s really not much to say today, Sunday’s presidential elections in Argentina having put a temporary halt to the Primera A season and the next games not being until Friday. Already, however, six days in advance, one match is starting to cause some controversy, with Lanús only having given Tigre around a third of the expected [...]

Both La Plata sides are in the headlines a week and a day before the city’s clásico, for different reasons. Gimnasia got back to winning ways and kept Newell’s miserable away run in the Apertura going, beating them 2-0 in the Estadio Municipal last night in the postponed 12th round match. Lucas Landa and Ignacio [...]

No fixtures in Primera A this weekend, due to the Argentine presidential elections, but there will be one game played on Friday night: Gimnasia and Newell’s will kick off their postponed match from the 12th round in La Plata at 9:10pm local time. The match was put back to today because the 12th round was [...]

Frustration for River but elation for Arsenal. Los Millonarios have put themselves in a good position to progress to the semis, but it could have been even better. Arsenal, meanwhile, celebrated an historic result in Guadalajara.

The 25th October 1997 was an historic day in the history of football, and today we arrive at its tenth anniversary. Because ten years ago today, in the Monumental, Boca Juniors beat River Plate 2-1. Historic for what exactly? No, my fellow River fans, it wasn’t the last time we lost a superclásico (the unbeaten run [...]

Apologies for not putting these up sooner - the internet café I was in in Salamanca yesterday didn’t have the necessary plugins for me to able to watch the video myself and thus give the running order. Anyway: Here, courtesy of TN, are 20 of the 21 goals from the fourteenth round of matches in the Apertura. Colón [...]

Following Tigre’s and Lanús’s wins on Friday night, it’s getting tighter than a nun’s proverbials at the top of the table, with both Boca and Independiente dropping points and River winning - wait for it - away from home - to be able to keep dreaming. Three points separate the top four. Just six separate [...]

Things weren’t expected to be like this in Victoria. When Tigre won promotion via the playoff against Nueva Chicago last season, their triumph turned to tragedy when riots resulted in the death of one of their fans. But on Friday night, they beat Arsenal de Sarandí 2-0, with goals from man-of-the-match playmaker Martín Morel (pictured) and Sebastián Rusculleda, [...]
