Argentine League: Lanus crowned Apertura champions
Congratulations to Lanus for winning their first ever title in club history. They had come close on three other occasions but this time they went through holding Boca Juniors to a 1-1 draw at the Bombanera. The draw gave them 38 points ahead of Tigre, another small but overachieving club. Boca Juniors came a disappointing third and surely must be looking forward to Juan Roman Riquelme's return. But the most shocking result must be River Plate's fall from grace as they fell to the 12th spot after being drubbed 0-4 in their final match against Olimpo de Bahia Blanca
