I also have to admit that the yellow given to Barrientos could well have been a red. He came flying in, studs up at chin level. He's been doing well playing in the injuried Mateo's place, but today I'd say he was the worst player on the field.

If near misses counted, Newell's would have won, La Lepra had at least three shots that were just wide. Vangioni put had one that was a sliver off the left post, and I can't believe that Formica missed a wide open chance. In the end, I'm relieved Newell's didn't lose, but not happy with the 2-2 draw.
With Banfield having won their game last night against Independiente 2-1, Newell's now trail the leaders by two points. While it's disappointing now, if you would have told me that La Lepra would have 33 points after fifteen games I would have told you that you were crazy.
Here's a look at the two team's final four games:
Newell's Old Boys:
Colón de Santa Fe away.
Arsenal de Sarandí home.
Gimnasia LP away.
San Lorenzo home.
Banfield:
Racing Club home.
Huracán away.
Tigre home.
Boca Juniors away.
Considering that Newell's have to face two teams that are in the top half of the table to Banfield's one, and that three of Banfield's opponents are at or very near the bottom of the table, well, it looks like we may half to settle for second. But we'll see how things work out.
Up next, Colón de Santa Fe. It's sort of a mini clásico between two teams from the province of Santa Fe, two teams in rojo y negro.

Hi David,
Do you happen to have the full name of Mayor Lifschitz? You see, my family originally from Entre Rios with connections in Cordova and Rosario, and my mum maiden name Liebeshutz which is not far from Lifschitz, I wonder if we are related.
Miguel Lifschitz is the current mayor of Rosario. I don't have any more than that, but hope it's enough to be helpful.
Thanks for that. My spanish is close to none so I thought maybe you can help. And by the way, reading your blog for a year now I can tell you that Newell's is my favourite Rosario team. Hope you win the title.
