That Wasn’t Pleasant
By: Jeremy |Out-played, out-coached, out-hustled. Just a good old-fashioned beat down. That was what Newell’s received at the hands of el Rojo on Friday night. Almost nothing worked for NOB, although the first half ended scoreless.
We Need Three
By: Jeremy |Newell’s limps into an Independiente side that is playing for the last time under coach Pepe Santoro needing to take the full three points if they are going to have any chance of making a run at Lanus or a Copa berth.
