Sunday and Monday brought us some action in the Primera, albeit little of it classic, so although I didn’t have the time to upload before, it seems only fair to get everything up to date goals-wise. All Boys beat Unión and San Lorenzo were held by an extremely late equaliser from Banfield left back and Barcelona target Nicolás Tagliafico, Boca Juniors drew 1-1 away to Belgrano, and on Monday title challengers Arsenal de Sarandí and Newell’s Old Boys drew 1-1. All the goals are here, and the up-to-date standings in the Clausura and the relegation table are here.
