Last week, Boca Juniors coach Ricardo Lavolpe joked that he'll be hanged
if Boca finishes second. His team had already blown one chance to clinch the
title, losing 1-0, to Belgrano Dec. 3. In its last game of the season on Sunday,
Boca fell to Lanus, 2-1, a result that would still have delivered the title had
Estudiantes, coached by former Argentine star Diego Simoene, not scored
twice in the last five minutes to beat Arsenal, 2-0.
The results force a playoff for the title between Boca and Estudiantes on
Wednesday (TV: 3 pm ET live on Fox Sports en Espanol; 5 pm ET delay on Fox
Soccer Channel).
