A Ten Man Inter Gets a Crucial Away Win in La Plata.

By: Mauro | Comments Add Comments

Well, unfortunately I missed this match. I know, of all the matches to miss, but it was for a real life changing reason. One that I won’t be sharing here my dear readers. I have read some match reports and can give you an idea of what happened. And couple that with the video above, you can get an idea of what happened on Wednesday night.

Sorry, I had a rough Wednesday and couldn’t upload the preview for last night’s match. So here it is, no photo though. Again, sorry. I will be posting the match report in a few minutes.

Estudiantes de La Plata vs. Sport Club Internacional (Estadio Unico de La Plata, La Plata, Argentina)

Well in case you’ve been under a rock or overwhelmed with UEFA Champions League action, tonight there is quite a big match taking place in South America. Estudiantes de La Plata, with an unbeaten record at home, are hosting Internacional de Porto Alegre in the first leg of the Finals of the Copa Sudamericana.

Estudiantes With a One Goal Stunner, to Meet Inter in the Final Match.

By: Mauro | Comments Add Comments

Well, this one certainly wasn’t the best semi-final I’ve seen. But Estudiantes did what they had to do, not unlike Chelsea vs. Liverpool (circa 2007 CL semi-finals) in my mind, by holding Argentinos with a unattractive defensive stance for most of the match while the visitors tried, wildly at times, to get the single goal that could get them into the final match.

Club Estudiantes de La Plata vs. Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors (Estadio Unico de La Plata, La Plata, Argentina)

LIVE @ 3:30pm PST on Fox Sports Español. Gamecast here. Online TV here.

After stealing a huge result last week in La Paternal, Estudiantes are coming into this match with all their best players and the intention of getting into the final match. Argentinos, on the other hand, are in a must score situation after not being able to completely put the Pincharatas to bed last week, but the result at the weekend between these two has eyebrows raised and doubts well in place.

An Inter Win That’s More of a Warning to their Future Opponents.

By: Mauro | Comments 1 Comment

With a fantastic performance in the first leg in Guadalajara, Inter came into this match with a big lead that allowed them to manage the match at their discretion. Chivas was desperate to score early on and slowly fell apart in front of a much more organized, seasoned and veteran Inter side that seriously took care of business.

Inter Look to Sew up Their Series With Chivas in Porto Alegre.

By: Mauro | Comments 1 Comment


Sport Club Internacional vs. Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas) (Estádio Beira-Rio, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)

LIVE @ 4pm on Fox Sports Español. Gamecast here. Online TV here.

In tonight’s match, Chivas look to do the impossible by coming into Porto Alegre and try to steal a spot in the final of the Copa Sudamericana. The spot, sort of, belongs to Internacional, who have a crazy good advantage over their Mexican opponents and could advance despite losing or drawing at home.

Estudiantes Earn a Draw in La Paternal, Just Barely.

By: Mauro | Comments Add Comments

While this match didn’t have the dance I hoped it would have, it was a hard nosed match with plenty of fight, rough play and lots of complaints to the ref, which, in the end, was a testament to how badly both sides wanted this match that each was willing to fight tooth and nail to get it.

Argentinos host Estudiantes in Tonight’s All Argentine Semi-final.

Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors vs. Club Estudiantes de La Plata (Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, La Paternal, Buenos Aires, Argentina)

LIVE @ 3pm PST on Fox Sports Español. Gamecast here. Online TV here.

I have to keep reminding myself that in order to get to the Semis, Argentinos had to take out some quality opponents. But Estudiantes did not have an easy road themselves but did face, including Argentinos, a few clubs they knew pretty well. And as luck would have it, these two will be seeing each other for their next three matches, between the Sudamericana and the Argentine Clausura.

Chivas Play Their Hearts Out But Fail to Score.

By: Mauro | Comments 5 Comments

With almost full strength sides, both Chivas and Inter came out to win in tonight’s match. But it was Inter who came on like gangbusters in this first leg of the Semi-finals and got a surprising result, one that I was surely wasn’t expecting. But, as usual, Chivas did not go down without putting up a hell of a fight. As it turned out, this turned out to be the battle of near misses.

Nearly Full Strength Inter and Chivas Face off in Guadalajara, This One Should Be Good.

By: Mauro | Comments 1 Comment


Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas) vs. Sport Club Internaciónal (Estadio Jalisco, Guadalajara, Mexico)

LIVE @ 4pm PST on Fox Sports Español. Gamecast here. Online TV here.

After having taken care of River Plate in the Quarter-finals, beating them away and then drawing the home leg, Chivas will host Inter of Porto Alegre tonight at the Estadio Jalisco for their Semi-final clash in the Copa Sudamericana. Chivas should field an almost completely full strength side, where Inter will be missing a key injury that could make the difference in this match.
