Independiente inaugurated their new stadium with a 3-2 win over 10-man Colon that dashed the visiting team’s hopes of going top of the Argentine Apertura championship on Wednesday.

Nestor Silvera scored the first goal at the Libertadores de America stadium, named after Independiente’s record seven South American club titles and erected in the same place as the old ground built in 1928, before Ignacio Piatti added two more.

Silvera put Argentina’s Red Devils ahead in the 12th minute from Piatti’s lay-off, but Federico Nieto equalised in the 35th for his seventh goal of the season.

Midfielder Piatti gave Independiente a halftime lead when he ran through the defence to score in the 43rd and scored again in the 72nd in another breakaway, weaving past keeper Diego Pozo and defender Ariel Garce before shooting into the open net.

By the time of Independiente’s third, Colon striker and captain Esteban Fuertes had been sent off for elbowing. Midfielder Alfredo Ramirez pulled another goal back in the 89th minute.

While a near full house of 50,000 were celebrating at Independiente, their arch-rivals Racing Club, whose ground is a few hundred metres across a stretch of wasteland in the suburb of Avellaneda, were seething after German Lothar Matthaeus opted at the last minute not to take over as their coach.

Racing, whose 1-0 loss away to Newell’s Old Boys on Tuesday left them joint bottom with five points, no wins and in serious danger of relegation, were looking closer to home for a new coach, approaching Uruguayan Sergio Markarian.

Three teams hold the joint lead with 23 points from 11 matches with South American champions Estudiantes top on goal difference after their 2-1 away win over Godoy Cruz on Tuesday.

Banfield, who won 1-0 at Gimnasia-La Plata on Wednesday with a 10th goal for Uruguayan striker Santiago Silva, the championship’s top scorer, are second.

“We’re still dreaming. We won at a very tough ground…Now we face a very difficult rival in what I think will be the most important match of the next round,” said Silva referring to Banfield’s home game with Estudiantes at the weekend.

Newell’s are third, also on 23 points, while Diego Simeone’s San Lorenzo are fourth with 22 points after twice coming from behind to beat Arsenal 3-2.

Colon and title holders Velez Sarsfield, who won 2-1 at Atletico Tucuman on Tuesday, have 21 points and Independiente 20.

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has phoned Sir Alex Ferguson to explain remarks attributed to him in a Spanish newspaper.

• Martinez denies criticism

Martinez has also contacted Steve Bruce, Sam Allardyce and Rafael Benitez after they were all implicated in the article. The Spaniard felt the need to clear the air after categorically denying he suggested the Football Association are afraid to punish United boss Ferguson.

Martinez said: ”Those managers have probably been in this situation and know how things work. I have had a lot of support in that respect. To speak about other managers you need to win the league. But it is not in my nature to be outspoken.”

It was suggested that Martinez claimed Ferguson had faithful followers in Bruce and Allardyce while Benitez was the target of constant sniping.

Martinez said: ”I have the utmost respect for Sir Alex Ferguson, Sam Allardyce, Steve Bruce and Rafael Benitez. Sir Alex is probably the best manager in the world while Steve has worked under him and we have a good relationship as he worked at Wigan before me.

”As for Sam I respect his achievements and what he has done in the Premier League. I also respect Rafa as he is one of the most successful Spanish managers ever.”

Martinez added: ”It is important they all know I was very disappointed with the stories that were circulating. It is a very unfortunate situation but people need to understand what happened.”

• Embargo placed on Portsmouth

Pompey owe £1 million to Chelsea over deferred payments on the purchase of Glen Johnson, and have a similar situation with Diarra, although the payments on his transfer from Arsenal are not actually due until the end of this month. The situation with Diarra is further complicated by a sell-on clause relating to his subsequent £20 million move to Real Madrid.

The Premier League have the power to pay a slice of Portsmouth’s £12 million broadcast revenue due at the beginning of next year direct to any club that is still owed money if key debts have not been settled before January.

New owner Ali Al-Faraj is still in the process of restructuring the financial situation he inherited from the previous owners and, according to Peter Storrie will do so by the end of November.

A £15 million loan from Balram Chainrai and Levi Kushnir secured against assets of the club will cover the latest cash flow crisis for the late payment, plus cash needed to pay off debts to HM Revenue and Customs. Mark Jacob, Faraj’s lawyer, has been accompanied at Portsmouth’s last two matches by the two businessmen, with the club finally confirming their involvement.

Storrie told ESPN Soccernet: “They are providing a loan to the club. They will not be new owners as it is being suggested, this is well off target.

“The loan was in place when they were involved with trying to purchase the club originally, but the new owner plans to completely re-finance the business and that should be in place by the end of November.”

The Premier League stepped in with a transfer embargo because it is a high priority that other clubs must be paid in full and on time. So too are debts to the Inland Revenue. Meanwhile, Storrie has been working relentlessly to reschedule payments due on player purchases.

Manager Paul Hart wanted to bring in free agent Eugen Bopp earlier this week but was refused permission, with the league arguing that it would be irresponsible to allow Portsmouth to take on further financial liabilities. The League also previously placed an embargo on Portsmouth in August, although that was subsequently lifted, allowing Hart to bring in players shortly before the transfer window closed.

Portsmouth are the only club that has been subjected to a transfer ban by the Premier League – as Chelsea’s has been imposed by FIFA – but they are optimistic the sanction will be lifted shortly.

“This concerns unpaid money to other clubs,” Portsmouth spokesman Gary Double said. “We are confident the situation will be sorted by the end of the week.”

Clubs can agree to stagger payments over the balance of a player’s contract, but there is now pressure to move back to the system in which 50% is paid up front and the remaining balance settled within a year.

Portsmouth have only paid off some of their debt to Revenue and Customs and, despite reducing their bank loans from £40 million to £10 million, they also remain in debt to Barclays.

The severity of Portsmouth’s financial difficulties was highlighted when it emerged that the deal to acquire a 90% stake had cost Faraj nothing as it simply involved taking over the debt that had largely been build up under Alexandre Gaydamak.

Former Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd has blasted owner Mike Ashley’s decision to sell the naming rights to St James’ Park, claiming that the Magpies’ fans will be “horrified” by the prospect.

Ashley revealed earlier this week he was planning to try to sell the naming rights to Newcastle’s home ground after taking the club off the market, but Shepherd is furious that the plans are even being considered.

“I suppose nothing surprises me about the current regime, so news they are ready to sell the naming rights isn’t exactly a shock,” Shepherd said. “I appreciate we are living in a commercial world, but there are some things money can’t buy.

“St James’ Park is one of the most famous stadia, not just in Europe but in the world. You can go anywhere and everyone knows St James’ Park is the home of Newcastle United. The two are synonymous.

“I just can’t imagine St James’ Park being called anything else. Whatever next? Why don’t they just go the whole hog and change the name of the club itself? Fans will be horrified, angry and upset about this. They’ve had to put up with a lot in recent months, but this is just another blow.”

Shepherd revealed he had rejected an offer of £3 million to change the name of St James’ Park during his tenure in charge.

“I can remember when we had the chance to change the name of the ground when I was chairman,” he said. “It was just after flotation and big-name companies were falling over themselves to get involved in football – and, back then, Newcastle were right up there with the Manchester Uniteds, Liverpools and Arsenals.

“We were offered something like £3 million for a five-year deal. The branding specialists didn’t reveal the identity of the interested parties, otherwise we could just have approached the companies direct. The money could have been ten-times that and I would still not have been interested. There are some things money can’t buy.”
