EL SUPERCLÁSICO!!! Boca Juniors vs River Plate, Sunday May 15 (r)

I'll take it.

And now Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maidana got injured and a 19 year old with only 2 professional games on his track record replaced him. It was bound to happen.

I'm not sure about three clear penalties. Yeah there was contact but hardly enough for the gunshot wounds I saw.

Ganamos!!! Fiesta para la paisanada!!!

Que grande Martín. Que manera de acabar su carrera contra River. Pensar que hace unas semanas todos lo daban por muerto. 4 goles en los últimos 4 partidos.

Palermo tiene 9 goles contra River con Boca. Solo Paulo Valentim (El verdugo del otro Carrizo) hizo mas goles contra River.

Lets see if I can do this...

Lucchetti 8: Excellent game. He came out with confidence in the crosses, and had some good saves, especially a free kick by Lamela and one against Pavone in the 2nd half.

Clemente 3: He was playing poorly, getting beat, not joining play well, and then he got kicked out. Even though Almeida was by far the bigger asshole, Clemente allowed him to provoke him and got out of line himself. Now he's out for the next game, just when Monzon is leaving and Cellay is still doubtful.

Caruzzo 6: Solid defending for the most part. I think the better half of central defense today.

Insaurralde 4: He was worrying me. Always playing on the edge of what the ref allows, and fortunately it didn't backfire.

Monzon 8: He says he scored the first goal. I don't think so, but he did bother Carrizo. And he saved one on the other end, at least I think it was him. Other than that, he had maybe his best game at Boca, in what might be his very last game. He defended well and joined the attack well.

Chavez 7: Nice game by Pochi. Not great defending but he's improving and is growing as a player who works hard and is active all over the field.

Somoza 5: Worked hard and he's a fighter, so I don't want to grade him too low, but he gets out of position sometimes and is too slow to recover, and it's a good thing River didn't take advantage of it.

Colazo 5: I love this kid, but he really didn't do much today, sometimes I was forgetting that he was playing.

Riquelme 6: Not a good game by his standard, he wasn't the difference maker he usually is, although he did help keep possession with his intelligent play in the 2nd half. I don't think he's physically 100 percent.

Mouche 7: He created danger, he just needs to finish better.

Palermo 10: Well, he got his goal, and it's his last superclasico so I'll be generous.

Viatri, Erviti, Noir: No classification

River: Carrizo and Almeida get a zero, obviously for different reasons. But they all really played like crap, nobody stood out or did much, except maybe Lamela but the poor kid had nobody to play with.

It's kind of a win-win situation. Everybody is happy.

Boca fans are celebrating because we beat River in La Bombonera yet again. River fans are celebrating because Martín Palermo is retiring.
