Argentinos Juniors defeated mid table Huracan 2-1 to win their first league title in 25 years.

Juan Mercier scored in the 23^rd minute to give Bichos Colorado the early 1-0 lead. Facundo Coria ripped a header in the 77^th minute to seal the deal Argentinos Juniors.

This title is especially sweet for Bichos Colorado headman Claudio Borghi.

Borghi was teammate of Diego Maradona on Argentina’s 1986 World Cup winning side.

He also played on Argentinos Juniors 1986 title side.

Now Claudio Borghi has now come full circle. He has now won a title as a player and now as a coach for Bichos Colorado.

Way to go garoto.

Estudiantes whipped Colon 4-1.

Argentinos Juniors won the Clausura with 41 points. Estudiantes finished second with 40 points.

River Plate lost to Tigre 5-1.

Los Millonarios have had one of the worst records over the last two years now they face getting the heave-hoe from the top division.

River Plate needs to have a kick ass season in the Apertura if not is voce vai. Los Millonarios is one of only three clubs that has never been sent down.

Boca Juniors and Independiente are the two that have never been given the heave-hoe.

Boca Juniors had their lunch handed to them by Banfield 3-0.

Los Xeneizos finished the year in 16^th place with 20 points. If Boca continues at this pace, they will face the heave-hoe zone shortly too.

It is really sad to see such two storied clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate stinking the joint out.

Yet at the same time I am kinda happy Boca get what is coming to them. For many years the refs have given Los Xeneizos all kinds of breaks even to the extent of giving them wins they should have never had.

This is sad but true.

What goes around comes around.
