For the second week running I’ve been obliged to keep you all waiting until Monday evening for the scores, for which I apologise. Read on for those, and click this link to watch the goals from the weekend courtesy of the TN Sportblog. You’ll find the usual running order for that video after the rundown of goalscorers and red card recipients.

its just gone beyond a joke how bad river plate are at the moment. Aguilar is to blame. The fat man has run the club into the ground.
I can’t believe a year from next month River fans were flocking around the Obelisk in celebration. This team is absolutely rotten and needs to be blown up. At this point all I’m waiting for is Agulilar to go.
My favourite of the comments on Monday was Fabbiani saying that, ‘those banners weren’t spontaneous. Someone planned them.’ Well really, Cristian? I wonder why they did that…
The best thing was Olé going with a fake picture all across their cover.
They picked it up from a River Plate fan forum and published it on their Tuesday edition.
The picture was from a banner River fans hanged on Sunday. This forum’s user edited a banner that read: “LA PEOR DEFENSA DE LA HISTORIA” (The worst defense in our history”) and edited with Photoshop to make it read: “LA PEOR DIRIGENCIA DE LA HISTORIA” “The worst directors the club has had in its history”.
There goes the little credibility Olé had left. What a shocker!
