River Plate and Boca Juniors had contrasting warm-ups at the weekend to next week’s superclásico. River not only won a match but kept a clean sheet against Huracán, and shortly afterwards Carlos ‘Chino‘ Luna gave Boca the runaround, finishing with a hat trick as Tigre beat their illustrious visitors 3-0. Also on Sunday Central beat San Lorenzo by a single goal, and Racing lost the last match of the weekend, at home to Argentinos, after seeing a late penalty saved. As ever, all the scores and scorers are right here, as well as all the goals from Sunday’s matches.
