Clausura 2012: round 13 begins as San Martín beat Banfield, & the rest of the weekend’s kick off times

Friday saw an early start to the weekend, with Banfield hosting San Martín at 3:15pm due to their lack of floodlights since the storm in Buenos Aires last month. The visitors came away with a 2-1 win which is a huge boost to them in the fight to avoid relegation. Saturday, Sunday and Monday see nine more matches in the thirteenth round of Torneo Clausura matches, including Boca Juniors’ visit to Rafaela, Tigre hosting Unión and Colón taking on Belgrano in Santa Fe. All the kick off times and referees are right here, as are the goals from Banfield v San Martín.

All kick off times are local. Add four hours for British Summer Time.
