The Apertura champion maybe decided in the final clash between little known Lanus and powerhouses Boca Juniors on December 2nd. And should they fail then Tigre may benefit and become the champions pipping both Lanus and Boca at the post.
Boca Juniors were dealt a rude blow to their title chances when they were beaten by Arsenal di Sarandi, 1-2. League leaders Lanus moved four points clear of third placed Boca in a goal less draw with Argentinos Juniors. In second place is Tigre who are three points adrift.
The title maybe decided on Wednesday if Lanus beats bottom dwellers Gimnasia La Plata and if Boca beats Tigre. A win for Lanus will move them 4 and 6 points clear of Boca and Tigre, respectively. The only way for Boca to win outright would be if they win both their matches against Tigre and Lanus.
One comment on “Lanus moves closer to the Argentine Apertura title”
Anytime I meet someone who pays attention to the Apertura I become exhausted. Too many leagues! That much futbol isn’t healthy…
On a completely unrelated note, much props to Shourin for predicting about a year ago that Udinese would become a Serie A powerhouse. It seemed so unlikely back then. They’re doing great this year.
