On Monday evening, Lanús beat Tigre 2-0 in La Fortaleza. Elsewhere, the other two Monday matches both finished in 1-1 draws: Olimpo gave away a lead against Argentinos Juniors, and Colón and Independiente fought out a draw which didn’t particularly serve the visitors – Independiente – in the Copa Libertadores qualification race. Antonio Mohamed, managing Independiente in the stadium of his former club for the first time, was so overcome with emotion that he got himself sent to the stands at half time. All the highlights from Monday’s games are here, as well as all the weekend’s scores and scorers.

Hasta El Gol Siempre 
Wow, Neill’s overhead kick was awesome. Shame for Independiente though, want to see them push for Copa Libertadores qualification. At least they’ve still got the Sudamericana to compete for.
