Boca and Corinthians win domestic titles

Boca and Corinthians win domestic titles


South American giants Boca Juniors and Corinthians both won their respective domestic league titles on Sunday afternoon. The Argentine giants Boca claimed a 3-0 victory over Banfield to lift the trophy, whilst Corinthians earned the point they needed to lift the Campeonato.

It was a very emotional occasion in Brazil as Corinthians mourned the loss of club legend Socrates, who died aged 57 earlier on in the day. A draw would be enough to win the title for the Brazilian side, who took on fierce rivals Palmerias.


Meanwhile, in Argentina, Boca Juniors thumped Banfield 3-0 with two goals from Dario Cvitanich and another from Diego Rivero. With two games left, Boca are now 11 points clear.
