On 20 March 2011 Olimpo de Bahía Blanca recoreded their first ever away win against Boca Juniors with a 0-2 victory at the once intimidating Bombonera. The result saw Olimpo jump to the top of the Clausura 2011 table after Fecha 6 and escape from the relegation places for the first time since the sides met in the corresponding fixture of the Apertura back in September 2010. Had the goal not been incorrectly chalked off Maggiolo would have become the leading goalscorer of the tournament with six goals in six games.

On 20 March Clausura 2011 league leaders Racing Club hosted Estudiantes de La Plata in the 6th round of the tournament. They lost the game 0-1 which allowed Estudiantes to join them on 12 points and Olimpo to leapfrog them both into first position however things could have been completely different had the linesman not incorrectly ruled this Teófilo Gutiérrez offside. Had it not been disallowed Gutiérrez would have become the leading goalscorer of the tournament with six goals and Racing could have finished the weekend as league leaders.

Pablo Ferrari ruled offside vs Independiente, Clausura 2011

On 27 February 2011 Independiente hosted River Plate in the 3rd round of the Clausura 2011 tournament. Independiente needed the win to break their sequence of 13 league games without a win and River Plate knew that a win would allow them to go joint top with Olimpo (another side battling to avoid relegation).

In the first half this River Plate goal from Pablo Ferrari was incorrectly ruled offside by the linesman, at first glance you may think he was right to rule it out but a player cannot be judged to be offside if he is behind the ball and the passing player plays it in a forward direction.

In the end the decision did not cost River any points because Mariano Pavone knocked in an 88th minute winner for the visitors.
