Newell’s beat River Plate to defend lead

Newell’s Old Boys successfully defended their Argentinian league lead with a 2-1 win over troubled River Plate on Saturday.

Joaquin Boghossian put Newell’s ahead after 4 minutes, but had his goal cancelled out by Diego Buonanotte in the 63rd.

However, Boghossian had the final say as he netted again in the 79th minute. This time, his goal was enough for three points.

Newell’s shared the lead with Banfield ahead of this game, but now leave the pressure on Banfield to beat San Lorenzo on Sunday.

River Plate meanwhile, are in 17th place with just ten points from 13 games.

Argentina: Velez Sarsfield lose to Boca Juniors

Velez Sarsfield wasted the chance to take the lead in the Argentinian Primera Division, losing 3-2 to Boca Juniors on Sunday.

Leandro Caruso opened the score for Velez after just six minutes at La Bombonera, but Sebastian Battaglia equalized with ten minutes left before the break.

Caruso again put the visitors ahead in the second minute after the interval, but this time it was Juan Roman Riquelme himself to level the score in the 64th.

The winning goal came from Martin Palermo in the 73rd minute.

Velez remain in fourth place, at two points from leaders Estudiantes. Boca Juniors are in 12th place, now having ended a three-match losing streak.

River Plate dropped to 16th place due to a 2-1 defeat by San Lorenzo. Diego Buonanotte first put River ahead in the first half, but late goals from Leandro Romagnoli and Bernardo Romeo turned things around for the hosts.

Velez win, River Plate draw in Argentina

Velez Sarsfield are back in second place in the Argentinian Primera Division following a 2-0 win over Huracan, while River Plate drew 2-2 with Gimnasia La Plata.

The 20-year-old Jonathan Cristaldo was the man to watch in the match between Velez and Huracan. The forward scored both of the goals at Jose Amalfitani stadium, the first in minute 8 and the second with 15 minutes to go.

As result, Velez jump back to second place at two points from leaders Estudiantes, who beat Boca Juniors on Saturday.

River Plate were close to victory against Gimnasia La Plata at the Estadio Monumental of Buenos Aires, but were eventually held to a 2-2 draw.

Daniel Villalba put River in the lead after 42 minutes, and Diego Buonanotte doubled the gap seven minutes after the break.

Alvaro Ormeño pulled one back for the guests in minute 73, and disaster struck for River when substitute Juan Cuevas equalized with three minutes left in regular time.

Boca and River win in Argentina

Both Boca Juniors and River Plate made up for disappointing starts, beating Lanus and Chacarita Juniors respectively.

Boca Juniors visited Lanus and went ahead through Julio Caceres in the 17th minute. Agustin Pelletieri levelled five minutes later but a header from former Villarreal player Martin Palermo secured Boca’s victory in minute 70.

River Plate’s win over Chacarita Juniors was hard-fought. The Buenos Aires outfit scored the opening goal through Diego Buonanotte in the fifth minute, but had that goal cancelled out by Gustavo Alustiza in the 22nd.

Cabral then made it 2-1 in the 32nd minute but Alustiza again equalised just before the break, for Facundo Parra to make it 2-3 eight minutes after the interval.

River had enough energy left however. Daniel Villalba levelled eight minutes after the hour and the 35-year-old veteran Ariel Ortega made it 4-3 with two minutes to go at the Monumental Stadium.
