Boca Juniors spent the entire season competing against Defensa y Justicia. They needed nothing less than a win in the final match to claim the Tabla Anual, but as time ticked away and the score remained 0-0, the tension at the “Bombonera” reached a fever pitch. At the same time, Rosario Central had already won its own match and was waiting for a slip-up to take the top spot.
And just when it seemed the night was turning into a nightmare, the moment arrived that no one in Buenos Aires will ever forget. In the sixth minute of stoppage time, Enner Valencia found the back of the net to make it 1-0, sending the stands into a frenzy! The players piled on top of each other, the fans went wild, and the “Bombonera” turned into a volcano.

The suspense, however, didn’t end right away, as the play was reviewed by VAR. When the goal was confirmed, the outburst of celebration was even greater. The score remained 1-0 until the end, and Boca reached 63 points, clinching the Argentine annual overall standings.
Specifically, the Tabla Anual is determined by the total points earned by teams throughout the year (Apertura and Clausura) and rewards consistency over time. For Boca, this success is even more significant, as it marks their return to the top of domestic competitions following their Liga Profesional title in October 2022.
