River Plate and Boca Juniors met in the first leg of their last sixteen tie in the Copa Libertadores on Thursday night, and it was far from a classic - as most superclásicos in fact tend to be. Neither as bad-tempered as the derby often gets, nor as free-flowing and end-to-end as a properly good normal... Continue Reading →

Second chance to watch: River Plate v Boca Juniors from Sunday, 5th October
In case you missed Sunday's superclásico, I won't mention the score here - though I will reveal, as you'll discover pretty early in this video, that it was played in comically atrocious conditions (not so comic for those of us who were there, mind).

Torneo Final 2013: Boca v River ends all square & Rafaela win with a controversial late penalty (video)
Part of this post should have gone up on Sunday night, but I didn't have time for it - apologies. Anyway, Sunday's Torneo Final matches saw a dull superclásico whose main talking points were Manu Lanzini scoring the fastest goal in the fixture's history to put River 1-0 up, before Santiago Silva equalised, and a hold-up during...
