Boca clinch title despite loss

BUENOS AIRES: Boca Juniors earned their 23rd Argentine title by winning a three-team playoff on goal differential despite a 1-0 loss to Tigre on Tuesday.

Tigre's Leandro Lazzaro scored in the 67th minute, heading in Matias Gimenez's cross in front of Boca goalkeeper Javier Garcia.

"We deserved to be champions," Boca defender Claudio Morel Rodriguez said. "Tigre was a great opponent, but we managed the game and they almost didn't create any danger."
