Gimnasia reduced to 10 men early on so bit surprised got to 30 minutes at 0-0.

I see Boca lost to estudiantes, but BBC have kindly not updated their league tables. What is with the split leagues?

Bit sedate this one by South American standards. Hardly any wild tackles. 1-0 Boca just before half time.

Looks like they have split the league into two groups of 15. Everyone plays everyone plus one game against a rival from the other group. Then top 8 from each group play off in knock out phase to produce Apertura champion. They then have a break for World Cup and then repeat for Clausura. Sounds over complicated to me.

2-0 Boca now after long VAR check to award a penalty. Game probably over now.

I feel like their league seems to always be complicated, didn’t appear to be a regular home and away fixture situation from memory either? Or maybe I just didn’t pay enough attention to it.
