San Lorenzo beat Arsenal 4-2 at home on Sunday to win Argen-tina's Clausura championship.

Boca Juniors' 1-0 win at Belgrano had briefly threatened the leaders, but San Lorenzo restored the four-point gap with one game to spare. The last time that San Lorenzo lifted a title was in 2001, when Chilean coach Manual Pellegrini was in command.

Goals from Cristian Tula and Ezequiel Lavezzi put San Lorenzo in command but Arsenal striker Ivan Obolo silenced the home crowd with two headed goals.

San Lorenzo striker Gaston Fernandez rekindled the celebrations with a brace in the second half.

Bruno Marioni's goal was enough to secure Boca Juniors' win against Belgrano but his team-mates seemed more focused on tomorrow's Libertadores Cup final clash with Brazil's Gremio.
