BUENOS AIRES, Dec 12 (Reuters): The Argentine championship is set for a dramatic finale Sunday as four teams go into the final round of games with a chance of winning the Apertura title.
Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo and upstarts Tigre are level on 36 points from 18 games while Lanus are two points behind.
Goal difference is not used to decide the champions, meaning that a three-way, or even four-way, tie is possible.
Should two teams finish level, a straightforward playoff will be held, but if three or four teams finish level, a mini-league will be played.
The drama is a welcome boost for Argentine domestic football, which suffers from chronic financial problems, hooliganism and the exodus of top players to Mexico and Europe.
