Lanus did what they need to do to secure second place in the Clausura.
El Granate doubled up on River Plate 2-1.
Los Millionaires was hoping to get a win to at least finish in the top seven but this was not the case.

Boca Juniors and Gimnasia LP tied two all.
Argentinos Juniors and Tigre tied one all.

The past four years Los Xeneizes has stunk the joint out big time in both the Clausura and Apertura.
Both Boca and River Plate are two of the most decorated clubs in Argentina futebol history.

Boca finally got off the schnid with a huge 2-0 win over San Lorenzo. Riquelme returned to action for the Los Xeneizes. He led Boca to the win. Riquelme fired a perfect header into the teeth of the box. Mate Matias Gimenez ripped the winner in the fourth minute to give Boca a 1-0 lead.
Riquelme fed his buddy Martin Palermo NOT! Palermo tickled the twines in the 71st minute to secure the win.
Riquelme and Palermo hugged each other after the goal.
Did they bury the Hackett?
I doubt it.
Winning cures all problems.
River Plate reverted to their losing ways. Los Millonarios stunk the joint out in a 1-0 loss to Estudiantes.
River Plate cannot score or win on a consistent basis.
Argentinos Juniors blasted relegation bound Gimnasia La Plata 3-1.
Atletico Tucuman tied two all with Rosario Central. Tucuman was given their walking papers. Adios amigo.
The Clausura looks like this.
Top dog is Estudiantes with 33 points. Argentinos Juniors is in second place with 32 points. Godoy Cruz is third with 31 points.
River Plate dropped to 17th place. Los Millonarios has 16 points.
Boca is a notch better. Los Xeneizes has 17 points.
It is sad to see Boca and River stinking the joint out but it is nice to see clubs like Godoy Cruz, Argentinos Juniors, and Estudiantes compete for the Clausura title.

Boca once again is stinking the joint out. Boca Juniors lost to relegation bound Gimnasia La Plata 1-0.
This is not good. After Abel Alves was given his walking papers Boca responded by thrashing Arsenal 4-0 on Monday.
Boca reverted to their old ways.
With the win Gimnasia moved out of the drop zone
Marco Perez was the hero for Gimnasia when he nailed as screamer of a free kick to seal the deal.
Los Xeneizes are falling apart at the seams. Stars Martine Palermo and Riquelme are fighting. This resulted in Boca losing to bottom feeder Gimnasia.
However, Gimnasia now can breath somewhat easier for they are a step above the heave-hoe zone.
San Lorenzo shut out Huracan 3-0. Newell’s Old Boys and Rosario Central tied nil-nil.
Racing beat Velez Sarsfield 3-1.
River Plate finally tickled the twines. Los Millonarios beat front-runner Godoy 2-1.
Surprise, surprise, surprise River finally came away with a win. It only took River Plate almost a month.
The loss dropped Godoy Cruz outta first place to fourth. Godoy has 28 points.
Estudiantes is in first place with 30 points. Independiente has 30 points too but Estudiantes has a better goal difference a plus fourteen to a plus eight.
