🇧🇷 OTD 1969 Pelé scored "O Milésimo"; his 1,000th goal. An incredible feat. But did Pelé score past? It was a penalty for Santos against Vasco, whose goalkeeper was Edgardo Andrada. "El Gato" Andrada would go on to become "Agent S" for Argentina's brutal military junta... 1/2

🇦🇷 Rosario Central are launching a retro retake of their 1995 kit, in which they won the Copa Mercosur (now Sudamericana). Every chance they’ll use it on Sunday in the Clausura quarter-final against Estudiantes 😍

Deportivo Morón’s players left the pitch in Puerto Madryn attacked by local police with pepper spray and physical violence. Adding insult to injury and injury to crushing defeat: Dep. Madryn 1-0 Morón (1-1 but Madryn finished higher in the league and therefore go through)

🇦🇷 Oasis are playing in Buenos Aires and San Lorenzo’s hinchada are all in! The club from Boedo have been using the tune to Wonderwall for years and were acknowledged by the Manchester band. It’s a brewing brotherhood ☺️ https://t.co/nILTsd9UMp

A truly moronic situation. Morón's coach Walter Otta was attributed to having claimed AFA's president Chiqui Tapia was corrupt, not in as many words, something which saw him banned from today's game https://t.co/fZWXO0dOWA

@BomboneraTears Will Moron's head coach be there though? AFA banned him for quotes that appeared on a website that he didn't say...
