Well about Independiente's match. Itention of attacking but lack of ideas, very noticeable the lack of Lorgio Alvarez, Carrizo(these 2 will be back against Gimnasia) and Machín(Still needs sometime). Good enough that the youth player Sosa could score his first goal for the top team(also he got called up for the U20 national team). Ustari, regardless he received 2 goals, had a pretty good match he's back to his best level. Montenegro doesn't fit the position of attack midfielder, Rodrigo Diaz was in it would be something different. Lorefice had a so-so match but well it wasn't a good match for most of the players. Abraham had a good match, Gioda so-so unfortunately his first mistake at Independiente costed the team an own goal. Definitively the worst match of Guillermo Rodriguez since he signed with Independiente, once again Independiente received a goal 'cuz of his marking and thanks to Ustari didn't receive more coming from his side, in top of everything he got sent off. Without being unwordly Estudiantes snatched the 3 points from us. Also Gimenez without having big influence on the score he was somewhat biased in favour of Estudiantes, Verón more likely should have been sent off but he didn't even receive a yellow card, also Gimenez called many unexistant fouls for Estudiantes and it's still unknown why he booked Gioda even. Now to get ready for the other team of La Plata, with Lorgio and Carrizo back, however still no Machin or Diaz.(:/)
Regarding the teams playing the Sudamericana.
Gimnasia LP got an important 1-1, at the Maracana against Fluminense. Gimnasia still can't win outside of Argentina so far they got 8 draws and 3 loses, this was their first in Brazil.
Lanús also an important draw against Corinthians at Morumbi it was 0-0 for them.
River Plate once again troubled at home lost 1-0 with Atletico Paranaense.
Boca Juniors couldn't get around the history, they could never win over Nacional de Montevideo and this wasn't an exception a victory of 2-1 for the uruguayan side at their home.
San Lorenzo got an excellent 3-0 victory over Santos FC at home, however San Lorenzo keeps enlarging the list of their injured players now Mendez joins, Hirsig, Ferreyra, Quatrocchi, Silvera and Peirone, some will return this week-end some need some more days and some may take months to return.
Boca Juniors B? For those who don't know the teams of the first division 2 hours before their match starts it's the match of the reserves(they play the reserves of the same club that the main team plays), however Boca thinks that this isn't really competitive, so they would make someth9ing like a Chivas USA in Chile where they allow "B teams" play in lower divisions and some of Boca youth players would play there.

It's okay Diablo, we'll let you play in a good stadium like ours where parts of the roof don't come down on the crowd
After all a piece of material fell near an Olé journalist not over people so no big loss.
Yeah it seems that for once that stadium of yours will be completely filled up, but will it resist such thing once every 2 weeks?
Now, as Independiente was going to be home against Racing on matchday 15, if Independiente isn't back at La Doble Visera then probably we'll have another Avellaneda's derby at Lanús' stadium.
