The chasing pack all won and the leaders lost this weekend, so the title race is tightening up. At the bottom River struggled – and lost to another set piece goal - in Jujuy and Central lost in La Bombonera, whilst Banfield couldn’t follow up last week’s win over Racing with a result against Gimnasia La Plata. Combining with Racing’s win over San Lorenzo this means the business end of the Promedio is opening up. There was also, of course, a magnificent match at Lanús on Friday night. All the heroes are right here, and amazingly no villains this weekend; there wasn’t a single red card…

What a great futbol weekend. Thank you Racing !!
I watched the match between Racing and San Lorenzo quite closely… as I’m a Boca fan myself… I screamed for every goal… it was 4 at the end of the afternoon… and my wife asked me if Boca had scored 4 goals!!! jejeje… I had to explain that for THIS ONLY TIME I was suporting his father and brother’s team (Racing) but it was more of NOT supporting “Los Cuervos”
It was a very exciting weekend for “Torneo Apertura”!!!
