Huracán (blue) vs. Banfield (white, green sash)
Independiente (red) vs. Gimnasia de Jujuy (sky blue & white stripes)
Boca (navy & gold) vs. San Lorenzo (white)
Central vs. Estudiantes (it’s definitely them, but I can’t make out what colours they’re each wearing on this monitor. Sorry.)
Lanús (purple) vs. Vélez (white, blue ‘V’)
Argentinos (red, white sash) vs. River (white, red sash)
San Martín (green & black stripes) vs. Arsenal (claret & blue)
