Argentinian Superliga Roundup
Boca Juniors drew 0-0 away to Vélez Sarsfield on Sunday, joining Lanús and Argentinos Juniors at the top of the table. Meanwhile, River unexpectedly lost at home, missing another opportunity to take the lead. Luis Abram played the full 90 minutes.
In the Liniers neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Boca faced a tough and highly fouled match against Vélez in the thirteenth round of the tournament. The Colombian full-back, Frank Fabra, was sent off in the 61st minute.
With this result, Boca reached 25 points and now shares the top spot with Lanús and Argentinos. Both Lanús and Argentinos suffered defeats on Saturday, losing to Banfield (1-0) and San Lorenzo (3-0) respectively. The championship remains very tight and unpredictable, with only three points separating eight teams.
