Well, well, now things are like this, Racing, Central and Quilmes can't are safe from direct relegation, Gimnasia J. needs 5 points, Argentinos needs 7 and Olimpo 11. Instituo and Tiro can't avoid it.
To avoid play-offs Racing needs 16 points, Gimnasia needs 12(Gimnasia's calcs are different because they only have 1 season) Quilmes and Rosario need 17, Argentinos Juniors needs to win all the matches left since they need 21 points, and Olimpo needs 20 points.

It seems that it has been a good season for Maggiolo he scores 7 goals on the Apertura, considering he missed some matches, and now 6 goals so far.
Apparently Independiente's stadium would not be suspended, and they would play the rest of the minutes against Banfield, unknown when however.
About Independiente's match, first of all, at times some own goals are accidents but Pautasso's own goal was terrible i can't believe a player like Pautasso can make an own goal like that.
Ustari man of the match he saved everything that came to him, except the own goal but he couldn't do anything there. Agüero and Armenteros the best of Independiente on the field, also good match of Fabro too bad he had to leave for an injury, although it was good because it seems that the team plays better when there are 2 strikers like Bustos Montoya and Miranda and Agüero together, although Falcioni admitted that he tried to play Agüero as an attack midfielder and didn't success, Armenteros can help him there and play with kind of a 4-2-4. On another match Falcioni should test that and use Biglia and Carrizo as central midfielders. It was a very entretaining match in the side of Colón, Tombolini and the peruvian Juan Vargas were the best.
On another matter, a team with a sad present, Argentino de Quilmes(rival of Quilmes AC, duh) will play the next season on the 5th division, it's one of the few teams that after playing on the first division went down that low(another example would be the legendary "Huracan de Corrientes"). Argentino de Quilmes one of the oldest clubs in Argentina has some bad records although, for example in 1935 got the worst campagin that a team ever made on the first division, of the 34 matches of the season(back then there was no Apertura and Clausura) they lost 30 and only drew 4, also got the worst campaign in the second division in 1959, in 1965 they become 2nd on the second division but for a change in the rules they aren't allowed to promote to the first division, and since they never returned to the first divison staying on the second division for a long while, and eventually going down, and in the last 3 years they went down 2 categories.
EDIT: About Leandro Somoza, he's a central midfielder that plays at Vélez Sarsfield as 99% of the players in that team he comes from the youth, he has done few goals but most(if not all) were from long distance shots, and were pretty good goals, he's good defending but i believe he's better attacking, although i may be wrong. It's said even that he could be playing the world cup or rather playing on the national team soon. They must consider that Vélez doesn't let their players go away so easily, specially Somoza who is one of the best players of the season, and a key player for Vélez. But then again being Vélez you never know maybe if he leaves a youth player will come that actually outplays Somoza.
