What is there to say? Los millonarios indeed defeated San MartÃn 3-0 last night in the Copa Libertadores, but it all meant absolutely nothing, as the match was merely a formality for the already eliminated River Plate.
The scene at the Monumental was one of the sorriest sights I’ve seen all year. As expected, the game [...]

The only way to fully express my feelings after last night’s 4-2 loss to Nacional de Paraguay in the Copa Libertadores is to avoid any kind hyperbole and simply let the facts speak for themselves.

River Plate missed a chance to move into sole possession of second place in the league table this past Sunday, drawing 1-1 with Vélez Sarsfield at the Amalfitani.

Despite six changes to the starting lineup following [...]

Diego Buonanotte may have scored the goal, and new signing Cristian Fabbiani may have provided the assist, but luck and a near-sighted linesmen were the real heroes last night at the Monumental, as River barely squeezed out a 1-0 victory against Paraguay’s Nacional in Game 1 of the 2009 Copa Libertadores.
