At the end of game one of this dramatic, title-deciding, three-way playoff for the 2008 Argentine
Apertura league championship any Tigre fans contemplating their team's title prospects could have
been easily forgiven for feeling decidedly pessimistic and glum. A 2-1 defeat to San Lorenzo in the
first game of the triangular meant that any hopes of ending a 106 year wait for league glory were
Boca Juniors 0-1 Tigre - Boca champions on goal difference. As the referee sounded the final
whistle in Avellaneda and brought a close to this most dramatic of finales, the trivial
consequences of Tigre's 1-0 win became clear in the most soul-destroying, crushing of all
circumstances for those associated with El Matador.
The moment of truth has arrived. After all the conjecture, the tension, the nail-biting drama and
the conspiracy theories it is finally time for the answer to the Apertura 2008's most compelling
question to reveal itself. That question: just who exactly will be crowned champions? It is the
question that fans around Argentina have been scratching their heads trying to solve for weeks now.
Half time at Racing Club's stadium in Avellaneda and the score is Boca Juniors 0-0 Tigre. Boca
coach Carlos Ischia answered all the questions swirling around him about just what tactics he would
employ for this match by sticking to his favoured 4-3-1-2, with Leandro Gracian chosen to play in
the hole.
