BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - A dramatic late goal from Carlos Tevez gave Boca Juniors the Argentine league title on Saturday, as the Buenos Aires club overcame Gimnasia 1-0 to pip their arch rivals River Plate on an breathtaking last day of the season.
River led the Superliga from Boca by a point going into their final round of games and could have guaranteed the title with a victory.At the same time, Boca needed to win at home to Gimnasia and hope River tripped up.
It was Boca's third league title in four years and robbed River of their first league flag since 2014. It was a terrible blow for coach Marcelo Gallardo, who was hoping to win his first league title. The league is one of the few trophies the former River midfielder has yet to win in a victorious career as coach.
