BUENOS AIRES, May 22 (Xinhua) -- Boca Juniors were crowned champions of the first phase of Argentina's Primera Division on Sunday with a 3-0 win over Tigre in the final.
Former Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo headed in Boca's opening goal on the stroke of halftime after Sebastian Villa's inch-perfect delivery.
Colombian defender Frank Fabra doubled the lead by thumping a long-range effort into the top left corner just after the hour mark.
Luis Vazquez made it 3-0 with a header following another Villa cross four minutes from time.
The result at Mario Kempes stadium in Cordoba guarantees Boca a berth in next year's Copa Libertadores, South America's premier club competition.
Argentine clubs will have a brief recess before the second stage of the Primera Division - comprising a single round-robin contested by 28 teams - starts on June 5. ■
