Boca won the Campeonato de Liga on a last-minute goal from Enner Valencia and finished first in the annual table with 63 points. The title was still live across three matches when Valencia struck against Defensa y Justicia, and that single goal turned a crowded race into a championship.
That finish mattered because Rosario Central, Argentinos Juniors and Boca were all playing at the same time for the annual table title. Rosario Central had gone ahead 1-0 against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto in the first half, then finished with 62 points after beating them, while Argentinos Juniors were struggling in La Paternal, trailing 2-0 to Huracán after Oscar Cortés opened the scoring and Bruno Barticciotto added the second. In the final minute at the Gigante de Arroyito, Julián Fernández had briefly pushed Rosario Central into a stronger live position, but Boca’s late goal made the final order clear: Boca first with 63 points, Rosario Central second with 62, and Argentinos Juniors third with 60.
The fine print explains why the standings felt so volatile. The annual table title was decided by points, and if teams were tied the main tiebreaker was goal difference. That is why the lead swung in real time as the matches moved on together, and why Boca’s finish mattered even as the table kept changing elsewhere. It also explains the gap that had to be resolved on the night: Boca ended with +22, Rosario Central with +16 and Argentinos Juniors with +12, which gave Boca the edge over the rest once the goals were counted.
Olé captured the mood with a blunt verdict: “¡Boca es el Campeón de Liga!” It was a deserved finish for a race that never settled until the last minute, and the result leaves no further drama attached to the annual table title. Boca stood on top when the whistle finally went, and Valencia’s goal was the reason why.
