Estudiantes 0 Argentinos Juniors 1 There’s been a full programme of mid-week games which have produced bundles of goals, including the 4-4 draw between Velez Sarsfield and Boca Juniors. And this as the national team finally played the way they should be playing and outclassed Germany on their own soil in an impressive pre-World Cup friendly.
Banfield 3 Argentinos Juniors 0 This was the resumption of the second game of the season, called off after eight minutes because of torrential rain. And it looked to me like the Argentinos Juniors players never really dried out. Banfield are the current champions and it showed. They were snappy, they were hungry and they enjoyed [...] Atletico Tucuman 1 Argentinos Juniors 1 At least Argentinos Juniors managed to dodge the rain and play the full ninety minutes. Two of their five matches played so far this season were abandoned after the skies opened and the teams were not equipped with the flippers and snorkels needed to finish the game. This was one the [...] Lanus 3 Argentinos Juniors 6 It’s quite a trek to reach the southern suburb of Lanus. First I had to take the 113 bus to the Argentinos Juniors ground in La Paternal to buy my away ticket, then a half an hour walk to La Paternal station for the train to Retiro, one of the main [...] Independiente 1 Argentinos Juniors 1 This game entailed a trip across the stinking Riachuelo river that marks the border of the city of Buenos Aires with the Avellaneda neighbourhood in the province of Buenos Aires. I was at the home of Independiente whose brand new stadium is right next door to rivals, Racing Club. And a fine [...] Gimnasia y Esgrima 1 Argentinos Juniors 2 Phew! What a relief. The Red Bugs finally returned to winning ways after six games. And well deserved it was too. However they play out the last few games of the season, Argentinos are assured of comfortable mid-table safety but nonetheless played this one with passion. Gimnasia fear relegation [...] Colon 2 Argentinos Juniors 0 With this defeat, Argentinos Juniors can say goodbye to any lingering hopes they had of challenging for the title. But it was a sad way to go. A dodgy penalty in the second minute put the visitors on the back foot. An even dodgier one in the second half punched the [...] Chacarita Juniors 2 Argentinos Juniors 2 Argentinos Juniors have lost their way a bit lately – just two points from a possible nine in three games against opposition from the bottom of the table. Chacarita Juniors, newly promoted last season, needed to win this one and it showed, especially in the effusive way they celebrated their [...] Tigre 1 Argentinos Juniors 1 A rather disappointing draw for Argentinos Juniors against the bottom team, but they’re still up there with the title contenders. However, all eyes today were on the big local derby, the Superclásico between Buenos Aires rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors, which also ended 1-1. This one always steals the limelight. [...] Velez Sarsfield 1 Argentinos Juniors 0 That first defeat had to come one day and there’s no shame in it being away to the reigning champions, Velez Sarsfield. But the Red Bichos could and should have won this one. They played the better football but missed a couple of sitters. So a sad result, compounded for [...] |
