Argentinos Juniors 1 Velez Sarsfield 0 This was a tense game, a very tense game against tough opposition. The winning goal came six minutes from the end, a scrambled, confusing own goal by Velez defender, Marco Torsiglieri. Despite the home side’s dominance, their inability to tuck away their chances meant that it could [...] Argentinos Juniors 1 Godoy Cruz 2 I’m going to ramble only semi-coherently in relation to this game since it pains me to be direct. The Argentinos Juniors’ front man, Nicolas Pavlovich is nicknamed El Buitre or the vulture because he’s a ruthless predator who devours any loose ball and callously slots it into the net. But [...] Argentinos Juniors 2 Boca Juniors 2 It’s not my fault that the Argentine Football Association scheduled the start of the season smack-bang in the middle of the summer holidays. That’s why I found myself in Bolivia when Argentinos Juniors kicked off possibly the biggest game they’ll play all season against the always glamorous but not always [...] Argentinos Juniors 5 Huracan 1 And so ends this journey through an Argentine first division football season. But my word, what a way to end it! The sun was shining, the Argentinos Juniors fans were in fine voice, Huracan supporters had travelled in numbers and there were goals galore. The home side went ahead after just [...] Argentinos Juniors 2 San Lorenzo 1 How I’ve reached the seventeenth game of the Argentine football season without mentioning tango I really don’t know. It’s either a gift or I’ve been criminally negligent. But the time has finally come for me to pull on my fishnet stockings and stiletto heels and rectify my lapse to a [...] Argentinos Juniors 1 Arsenal 1 No, obviously not THAT Arsenal. This is the Argentine Arsenal from the Buenos Aires suburb of Sarandi. They play in blue and red, are not managed by a Frenchman, have passionate support and have achieved very little since their foundation in 1957. There’s not even any evidence that their foundation was [...] Argentinos Juniors 1 Rosario Central 1 I fear the title is slipping from Argentinos Juniors’ grasp. Too many draws in recent games have left the Red Bugs looking at the leaders through a telescope. The only good news is that they’ve recaptured their early season form and really should have won this game – only the [...] Argentinos Juniors 1 River Plate 2 This was the worst I’ve seen Argentinos Juniors play this season. Their passing, usually so precise, was all over the place, more often than not at the feet of their opponents. River, who have had a terrible season so far, played with spirit and came away with a victory that [...] Argentinos Juniors 2 Racing Club 0 With the national team now safely qualified for the World Cup and a two-nil win for Argentinos Juniors on a delightful Southern Hemisphere spring evening, all would seem well in the world of Argentine football. But all is not well – far from it. The topic of conversation on the terraces [...] |
