The defending champions, Boca have 32 points from 16 games with three to play in the Clausura championship, the second league tournament of the complex Argentina season.
Tigre have 29 points after Mariano Echeverría gave them a 1-1 draw at Atlético Rafaela, where Alexis Castro opened the scoring just after half-time. However, Tigre dropped to 19th in the relegation standings, which are decided over three seasons, putting them back in the danger zone.
It's nice to have everything up for grabs at season's end, but this is ridiculous.

lol, no way would I be able to deal with following the EPL if it was formatted like that.

One game to go now, and Boca have screwed up by losing 3-0 at home to Arsenal, who now lead the table from Tigre on goals scored. Neither of these have ever won the title before. Both have home games against midtable opponents (Belgrano and Indepediente) in their final fixture. Boca are the only other side who can win: they are two points behind.
Tigre are out of the relegation playoff places only by a whisker - 0.004 points average - so it's still possible that they could win the league while being simultaneously relegated.

Arsenal fans rejoice! This lot do hold their nerve, 1-0 winners over Belgrano, while Tigre draw 2-2 with Independiente (thereby also avoiding the drop, so some consolation). They seem to be the smallest club in the league, so extra well done them.

Second leg was last night but I forgot all about it. 2-0 to Corinthians, who win 4-1 on points for their first title. Riquelme announced that he was leaving Boca as he's no energy left to give - I don't know whether this means he's retired or not.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 5 July 2012 09:49 (eleven years ago) link
"This afternoon, I spoke with the president and informed him that I would not continue," Riquelme told reporters. "I am very grateful to the club and the team, I know I am, but I have nothing left to give the club, I'm empty.
"The relationship I share with Boca is great, I'm a fan of this club but now I have reached the end of the road.
"Now I just want to go home, have a barbecue with my friends, see my children and greet them. All I ask is for forgiveness from my child that I could not win the cup again."

Arsenal winger Pablo Luguercio earned the first red card of the championship for reacting with a slap in the face for Emanuel Britez after the Union defender had touched his buttocks as he was shielding the ball.

Magnificent example of the thread title in action tonight - Jorge Wilstermann, who play at an altitude of 8300 feet, lost the away leg of their Copa Libertadores qualifier against Vasco de Gama 4-0 and are leading the home tie 3-0 at half time.

boca bus was attacked as the team entered the river plate stadium, seems like this is going to be delayed if not rescheduled
