Newell's Beat, Take 5th From Vélez

Newell's beat Vélez on Sunday. Unfortunately I had a schedule conflict... family dinners are something one just can't blow off this time of the year, no matter what the cause.

Video of Insuarralde's goal can be seen on Jeremy's blog.

The biggest news, however, was the game between Huracan and San Lorenzo, suspended during the 16th minute. When I first saw that the game had been suspended, and considering the love the fans of these two teams shared for one another, I expected there had been trouble. Instead it was a downpour of rain that threatened to turn the field into a quagmire.

The game will be completed this Wednesday, from what I understand. Huracan are up 1-0, but went down to 10 men when Pastore was sent off 3 minutes before the game was called.
