San Lorenzo player Gastón Aguirre is the first player to appear in the "Cosas locas" section for a second time. The first was for a bit of brutal animal slaughter. This one is for his comically poor attempted clearance which resulted in an own goal for opponents Lanús.
For more crazy South American football check out the rest of the Cosas locas series.
It was the most important game in the history of Club Atlético Tigre. It was the first leg of the 3 way playoff at the end of the Apertura 2008 championship.There was a huge TV audience for this unexpected pre-Christmas bonus game and they all saw San Lorenzo's Gastón Aguirre kill an innocent pigeon.
For those of you who are actually interested in the football the results were:
Tigre 1-2 San Lorenzo Boca Juniors 3-1 San Lorenzo Boca Juniors 0-1 Tigre
Which meant that Boca Juniors won on goal difference, a tad unfair considering that at the end of the regular season San Lorenzo had by far the better goal difference and Tigre had the better head-to-head but they had to play the end of season playoff with Boca Juniors who were awarded the championship on goaldifference after a 3 way tie.
