Goals flow and fans riot in Argentina

San Lorenzo thumped Colon 5-0 to go top of the table as the goals flowed and fans rioted in Argentina at the weekend.

Oscar Ruggeri's team provided the highlight on a weekend in which the nine Apertura championship games which finished produced 31 goals.

The low point was in Mendoza where newly promoted Godoy Cruz's first home game in the top flight lasted just 17 minutes before being abandoned as fans clashed with police.

The referee initially suspended the match against Arsenal as police used teargas to try and quell the trouble on the terraces at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium.

But trouble resumed ten minutes later and the game became the first of the championship which failed to finish.

Crowd trouble is a regular problem in Argentina where three first division matches have been called off already this year.

San Lorenzo lead on goal difference from Independiente, who scored three goals in eight minutes to beat Belgrano 3-1.
