Hasta El Gol Siempre 
Ah Sam, I’d point out you sorted your league table by Goals For. Which in it’s own right is interesting as it shows how badly Colon faded when Fuentes and co. stopped scoring and they ended up with a pair of 6 game winless streaks with a whole swack of draws and a peppering of palizas on either side of the goleada local 3-0 at the expense to Boca.
And speaking of Boca, what a wacky goal difference, respectable goals for, disgusting goals against – safe to say there’s gonna be a push for an all-new defensive corps come july.
Thanks icho. Not sure how that happened, I must have selected the wrong column when sorting the data. It should be reading correctly now…
