Boca returned to the top on Wednesday with an easy win at home against Olimpo. The previous day, Tigre and Independiente had kept the pressure on them, going top one after the other by, respectively, drawing with Newell’s and beating Huracán.
River played magnificently on Sunday, so naturally were back to being rubbish on Wednesday, and Vélez recovered from that spanking with a good result against Estudiantes. The torrential rain on Wednesday claimed one match, Gimnasia - Colón having to be called off midway through the first half. And then Lanús and San Lorenzo served up a real goalfest, last thing on Wednesday night.
