Sorry everyone. Sunday evening and the subsequent couple of days have been busy. Argentines Abroad will be online on Wednesday, but first things first: it’s very late on Tuesday night here, and I’ve still not put the Sunday goals and the scores and scorers from the fourth round of the Torneo Apertura online. Sunday’s games saw Boca and San Lorenzo draw 1-1, Unión win the first clásico santafesino in eight years away to Colón, and Newell’s come from two goals down to win 3-2 away to Belgrano. You can watch the goals right here.
