Another midweek round of Primera action and more huge matches in the relegation battle. Sadly for Claudio Borghi’s, Argentinos Juniors this could be the nail in the coffin as they were soundly beaten in Bahía Blanca by Olimpo, who themselves are in the relegation mix. First half goals from Damian Musto and a brace from Adolfo Valencia swept Argentinos away and leaves them looking very isolated at the foot of the table. Later in Liniers, Quilmes shocked a well below par, Vélez Sarsfield side and earned an invaluable 3-1 win. Vélez obviously have the distraction of the Copa Libertadores but a third straight defeat sees their Torneo Final challenge dwindling and the manner of defeat against relegation strugglers, Quilmes will worry some quarters. In spite of the disruption caused by Caruso Lombardi’s on/off resignation, Quilmes started brightly and raced into a two-goal lead thanks to Gonzalo Ríos and Joaquín Boghossian. Lucas Pratto pulled one back before the break but an injury time Cristian Lema penalty wrapped up the points. Not enough drama? Never fear, Caruso Lombardi’s wife got in on the action, normally reserved for her husband by having some kind of physical altercation with Vélez Vice-President, Julio Baldomar.
